I am using sendgrid and i have verified with outlook the smtp can be accesed ok with sendgrid username and pass.

The data in config.php:

$core_config[‘smtp’][‘relm’] = ‘sendgrid.net’; // yes, not realm, it’s relm
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘user’] = ‘mysendgridusername’; <- i have tried the email account too. X-(
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘pass’] = ‘mysendgridpass’;
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘host’] = ‘smtp.sendgrid.net’;
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘port’] = ‘465’; <–i have tried all ports (25, 587 and 465)

is posible that any php smtp library at core/sendmail directory can be obsolete? Is there any other config file to setup?

Thanks.

Hello jjhunter,

Yes, I was able to make it work.

  1. To start, please try leaving relm blank as in…

    $core_config[‘smtp’][‘relm’] = ’ '; // yes, not realm, it’s relm

  2. Please use your entire email address for user.

  3. Also, I used port 587

With your changes, I believe you also need to be sure to restart playsms.

Please let me know if that works.

Ok, now working! But using sendgrid credential.

$core_config[‘smtp’][‘relm’] = ‘’; <-- Empty
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘user’] = ‘sendgrid_credential’;
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘pass’] = ‘sendgrid_credential_pass’;
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘host’] = ‘smtp.sendgrid.net’;
$core_config[‘smtp’][‘port’] = ‘587’;

Edit: not used the user so the credential (smtp) and its pass. And i added my domain to the whitelist.

Thank you!!.
