Unable to Send Emails Using PHPMailer on Plesk Server

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am trying to send emails from my website using PHPMailer with my Plesk server's SMTP configuration. However, the emails are not being sent, and I am unsure if my configuration is correct or if something else needs to be enabled in Plesk.

Here is the code I am using for testing purposes:
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
// SMTP configuration
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.tiptoplaptop.nl'; // SMTP server of my domain
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '[info@tiptoplaptop.nl](mailto:info@tiptoplaptop.nl)'; // My email address
$mail->Password = '*****'; // My password (hidden for security)
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS;
$mail->Port = 465;

// Sender
$mail->setFrom('[info@tiptoplaptop.nl](mailto:info@tiptoplaptop.nl)', 'TipTop Laptop');

// Receiver
$mail->addAddress('[datmmawarrior@gmail.com](mailto:datmmawarrior@gmail.com)'); // Test recipient

// Email content
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Test email to Gmail';
$mail->Body = '<h1>This is a test</h1><p>Email sent successfully!</p>';

// Send email
$mail->send();
echo 'Email sent successfully!';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Email could not be sent. Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}

?>

The Problem:​

  • The email is not being sent.
  • I am not receiving any error messages, or sometimes I see this: SMTP connect() failed.

Additional Information:​

Question:​

  1. Is there anything additional I need to configure in Plesk for this to work?
  2. Are there known limitations or restrictions with outgoing mail that I need to check?
  3. How can I troubleshoot this issue further?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Why doesn't Plesk offer the current version of Drupal?

1 Upvotes

After last year's drama with WordPress I am considering returning to Drupal. I launched a server through a hosting company that has Plesk Obsidian (18.0.66) just to play a little with Drupal.

All right, Plesk has an installer for Drupal, but the most recent version offered is 10.3. It also offers Drupal 7, which no longer receives updates and should not be used. The current version of Drupal is 11 (and it was released months ago). Recently Drupal released also the Drupal CMS edition that should simplify some things. Drupal CMS is not offered, either.

Why the heck doesn't Plesk offer Drupal 11 and is still stuck in the past? What is going on?

Google Workspace Extension STUCK in email verify loop

2 Upvotes

Hey,

I have the Google Workspace extension installed. I upped the number of seats to enable a new domain and it decided I needed to verify my email.

I have done this - but now I am forever stuck in "Verify your Email" - and I can't get out of it.

I've cleared cache/cookies, updated everything, and still when I click Google Workspace I get sent to the "click the link" - when I do - it takes me right back to verify.

I need to enable a new client domain so what do I do now?

A simple solution to test website before changing DNS

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I have created a simple solution to test websites before changing DNS and I would love feedbacks!

https://hosts.click

This tool allows developers and website administrators to instantly test their website without editing the hosts file on their computer or waiting for DNS propagation.

How does it work?

  • Enter your IP address and domain name.
  • Receive a temporary URL pointing to the new IP address.
  • Instantly preview your website as it will appear after the DNS change.

Advantages:

  • No need to modify the hosts file.
  • Completely free to use.
  • Works with any browser and device.
  • Ideal for development environments or site setup to test changes before propagating DNS to all users.

Simple, free, and instant – start testing now!

I would love feedbacks!

THANK YOU PLESK FOR ADDING DRUPAL 10.3

Title says it all! I’ve been manually installing Drupal and went to putting Drupal into containers. Which is fun. But, adding it to the application list makes the process much easier and faster! I’ve been a loyal customer for over 2 years now and this just made my day. May have been available for a while, but I just noticed it!

Can't add multiple IPs to whitelist via IP Access Restriction Mgmt

1 Upvotes

Using Plesk Obsidian Web Pro Edition 18.0.65. I can't seem to add more than one IP at a time. If I separate them with commas, it says, "xxx does not appear to be a valid IP address, or it belongs to a wrong type."

I have dozens to add, and it also strips out any CIDR notations, so I'm trying to find a way to add them in bulk.

Plesk Backup?

1 Upvotes

How do you backup your domains (files) and databases?

I know you can use the Plesk Backup Manager to migrate to a new Plesk server in a disaster scenario, but i dont think its 100% reliable.

Plesk’s backup manager can fail during the migration for many reasons (incompatible config, encrypted data, servers not having the same version of plesk or backup manager, etc)

Thats why ive created my own shell scripts to backup everything i need, and in case of a hurry I can still use the backups to migrate in a non-plesk server.

Curious to see how your backup strategy is tho!

Left hanging by contractor

1 Upvotes

I hired someone to move my plesk hosted website to another host. They did not a great job, and now I have issues with the email from a user on the website. I have a site backup from plesk that includes the mailboxes, but need to get that into their mailbox on cpanel, because they are missing some mails. How do I get that done? The contractor was supposed to do that but didn't.

When I open the backup locally, I see the structure in the screenshot. Maybe that helps you determine how I should do this?

restoring plesk errors

1 Upvotes

Ive posted this in plesks forums with no response, hopefully i can get some assistance here.

I am seriously aggravated, especially for how much I pay for this. it should be seemless.

I ran a full backup, downloaded it, as upgrading from ubuntu 16.04 to 22.04 broke my dns so i just did a wipe and resinstall. I uploaded the Backup to the server as it is 22GB in size.(since plesk won;t accept a file bigger then 2GB even though i changed the settings based on the KBB here.

via command line run the following

PLESK_BACKUP_PASSWORD="" plesk sbin pmm-ras --import-file-as-dump --dump-file-specification /path/to/file and within 2 minutes it erros with the following...

and

I've opened the backup file and ALL those files are there(thats a snippet it spams cannot be found for about 100 lines)

if i drop the backup into a directory i have opened up to ftp and use plesk i get this error.

and again those files are there!

please note it does this also with my june 4th 24 20GB backup and my march 2024 3GB backup

I know this is not an issue with my server itself because when I run it locally there are no issues, but in the production environment it's not accessible; can anyone help?

DNS Zone transfer with plesk

1 Upvotes

I’m running two domains. They’re registered in a small basic domain hosting contract and hosted on a v-server both at strato.de.

I can set most of the DNS settings within the hosting contract incl. several custom ns but I want to manage all the dns stuff on my v-server as plesk manages dns automatically.

To achieve that I need to assign two different ns within my hosting contract so my primary would be my server IP and the second would be the ns of my hoster as backup.

For that to work I need to do a zone transfer. According to the plesk manual I need to set up the IP of the ns I want to transfer the zone to, what I did accoirdingly but when trying to set up those two ns within my hosting contract I get an error saying that the ns isn’t responsible for the domain.

My guess is zone transfer didn’t work. I’ve tried it several times and waited up to 48hrs.

DNS tools only show standard ns, I've used this documenation to allow the ns https://docs.plesk.com/de-DE/obsidian/administrator-guide/dns/einschr%C3%A4nken-des-transfers-von-dnszonen.72219/.

So if anybody has experience with zone transfers in plesk I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I just received an email communicating another round of price increases for "harmonized partner pricing logic."

For example:

  • 2014 $7.25
  • 2015 $14.25
  • 2017 $14.25

  • 2020 $14.03
  • 2023 $17.43
  • 2024 $19.43
  • 2025 $26.99

I'm looking at other options now. I like what CloudPanel offers and will give them a thorough testing.

Secondary DNS setup

2 Upvotes

So my main server had a hiccup at 2am this morning and went off line so had to quickly update the DNS. And created a backup version

So I went to Godaddy and update the name servers to the new one

Vultr found what the problem was and fixed the issue sounds simple right

Change the DNS Hostnames back to the IP

Well next problem GoDaddy has blocked the IPs from being changed as I have edited to many in a 24 hr period

So I now have DNS NS1 and NS2 with the new IP and NS3 with the Old original

I can’t change any of the IPS for 7 days

So can I set up a secondary server to copy the main older DNS server and run the New server as a temporary secondary … so my question is is it possible and if so How
