Error: it was not possible to read line from the SMTP server

I just changed following line
$smtp->host_name="smtp.gmail.com"; /* Change this variable to the address of the SMTP server to relay, like "smtp.myisp.com" */
$smtp->host_port=465; /* Change this variable to the port of the SMTP server to use, like 465 */


Getting this error

Resolving SMTP server domain "smtp.gmail.com"...
Connecting to host address "74.125.127.109" port 465...
Connected to SMTP server "smtp.gmail.com".
Could not send the message to [email protected]. Error: it was not possible to read line from the SMTP server: data access time out


Please help me to resolve this issue

This means that the SMTP server is taking too long to respond. You can increase the timeout variable to an higher value. If it still does not work, it may be a problem related with your machine IP address which may not have a reverse DNS record (PTR).

Thanks bro for your quick response, i increased $smtp->timeout=200 but still facing the same problem.how i can resolve "problem related with your machine IP address", is there any way?

I tested this script on multiple servers and all giving same error.

If that is really your problem, you probably can't solve that problem because it is usually up to your machine network administrator to assign a reverse DNS record to your IP address.

Are you trying to use your personal computer to send messages? If so, try accessing this site and tell me what IP address it says is yours.

Hello,

Even I am getting this error when connecting to smtp.gmail.com ssl
port 465

SMTP error - it was not possible to read line from the SMTP server: the server disconnected

What could be the issue?

Can set debug to true and show the output here?
