Hi, When I try to send back ups by email I get the following error:
"Backup complete, sending backup via email...
The following errors were reported: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()"
I have checked my php.ini settings look correct and my email with below server is working:
SMTP = smtp.hispeed.ch
smtp_port = 25
Hi FJ. Never used this plug in before. My smtp serve is working (email also working). On my server's setting instructions I see port 25 and that's what I also have in my php.ini setiings.
This plugin reconfigures the wp_mail() function to use SMTP instead of mail() and creates an options page that allows you to specify various options.
After installing and activating the plugin you should log in to your wordpress admin page and under:
Setting | Email
you should setup the Advanced Email Options for the plugin.
You can set the following options: * Specify the from name and email address for outgoing email. * Choose to send mail by SMTP or PHP's mail() function. * Specify an SMTP host (defaults to localhost). * Specify an SMTP port (defaults to 25). * Choose SSL / TLS encryption (not the same as STARTTLS). * Choose to use SMTP authentication or not (defaults to not). * Specify an SMTP username and password.

My W-P is curently offline (localhost).
Can you help me find the solution?

Did it work before?
Was your smtp provider up when you tried?
Does is require port 25 or another port?

Are you sure you have a working mailserver? Offline mailservers are not typical.
My database only is offline (on localhost) but my computer is online. My provider's connection is ok as well as my mailserver (email works).
Any more ideas?
Thank
Carlo
I have the exactly the same problem. I tried a different email address, but the same result. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Problem solved,
You need to go here and download the advanced e-mail plugin:
