Unable to send to Bluehost SMTP server
Opened this issue · 0 comments

Hi, I am using airxmail and it works perfectly for me when using gmail. I can
use SSL/TLS and attachments, everything OK.
When I try to send using my client's bluehost account, which has SMTP config
settings similar to gmail, it fails with:
"Received event from SMTPSender: [Event type="smtpConnectionFailed"
bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]"
I did some experimeting to try to isolate the problem. Here are some facts:
- I can send from my email program (Thunderbird) running on the same PC as my
AIR app, to the gmail SMTP server AND the bluehost SMTP server
- I can send from a _grails_ web app running locally on the same PC, to the
gmail SMTP server AND the bluehost SMTP server
- in the last case there is one difference between gmail and bluehost: for
bluehost I had to specify the "from" parameter when making the call to
MailService.sendMail even though that was already set in the mail config,
whereas when sending to gmail this was not required. Maybe that's a clue.
