[vBulletin Issue] Could not use SMTP to send email

January 22nd, 2020

Hi everybody,
I’m running a community using vBulletin 3.6.2. Because of my hosting provider disabled the mail function, so I must use SMTP to send email via my forum.
Several months ago I set the configuration like this and All done.. The email system of the vbulletin is ok, working great.

SMTP Email -> Yes
SMTP Host -> smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port -> 465
SMTP Username -> myusername
SMTP Password -> mypassword
SMTP Secure Connection -> Yes

BUT recently, my vbulletin can not send emails.. and i check the mailbox.. it’s ok. But my vbulletin still can not send emails.
I get those error messages
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:465 in /includes/class_mail.php on line 599
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.googlemail.com:465 in /includes/class_mail.php on line 599
If you know, let me know. Thank you in advanced!
I’m looking forward your reply.
