I have a problem for a couple of days ago me going crazy, I have a script that sends mails using phpMailer and arsys.

The fact is that the overnight stops working, check the code and seems fine, it's more, it works correctly if I run it from the test server that comes through another IP.

I found that the server was not on any spam blackList and found the reference to be to a PBL, me worry about removing it from there.

Anyway, I still can not send mail from that server and both my other test script I programmed work correctly on development server but not on the production server.

The error that is specifically this

SMTP -> ERROR: EHLO not accepted from server: 
SMTP -> ERROR: HELO not accepted from server: 220 ESMTP Postfix smtp-04.servidoresdns.net 
SMTP -> ERROR: AUTH not accepted from server: 250-250-llsg993-a04.servidoresdns.net PIPELINING 250-SIZE 51200000 250-ETRN 250-250-STARTTLS AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH = DIGEST MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN 250-250 8BITMIME ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 

It says it can not authenticate the credentials are fine but since the same script from another server goes perfectly.

Also came through a tcptraceroute to port 25 SMTP server.

Only strange thing I see is that when running

tcptraceroute p 25 smtp.miservidor.com 

He says:

Sorry, Local Requested port is already in use. Use P, instead of p, to override.

But after using P instead of p and functions

Anyone shed me some light on this?

Who may be filtering my IP address ??

It's very common for ISPs to block outbound connections to port 25 by default. Try using SMTPSecure = 'tls' and Port = 587 - that server definitely responds on that port.

Connection problems are covered in the PHPMailer docs.

I noticed that never answered this question, the problem was the time, the function did not have enough time to contact with server. I increased the time in phpMailer class and everything went back to work.
