Bluehost : Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host

I am using the bluehost for my some sites hosting. For sending emails I used the SMTP service which is provided by bluehost.

Bluehost : Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host

I used the PHPmailer in my website for sending email. When I tried to use the bluehost SMTP I always got the following error message.

Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.”

I solved this issue. I created the following function.

view source
print?
01<?php
02include("class.phpmailer.php");
03 
04function mail_new($fun_to,$fun_subject,$fun_body,$fun_header,$fun_from,$fun_cc){
05$mail = new PHPMailer();
06 
07$mail->IsSMTP();                                      // set mailer to use SMTP
08$mail->Host = "mail.eparinay.com";  // specify main and backup server
09//$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
10$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
11$mail->Username = "support@purabtech.in";  // SMTP username
12$mail->Password = "YOURPSSSWORD"; // SMTP password
13$mail->Port       = 26;
14 
15$mail->From = $fun_from;
16$mail->FromName = "eparinay.com";
17$mail->AddAddress($fun_to);
18$mail->AddReplyTo($fun_from, $fun_from);
19 
20if($fun_cc!=""){
21$mail->AddAddress($fun_cc);
22}
23$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // set word wrap to 50 characters
24//$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz");         // add attachments
25//$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");    // optional name
26$mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // set email format to HTML
27 
28$mail->Subject = $fun_subject;
29$mail->Body    = $fun_body;
30//$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients";
31 
32if(!$mail->Send())
33{
34echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
35echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
36exit;
37}
38}
39?>

Where you want to use the mail you just need to include the above script and call the “mail_new” function for sending email through bluehost.
