    I have been contact webhosting administrator. The webhosting administrator tell me about "Unfortunately port 465 is a restricted port on our system and we are not able to provide additional access to that. We are only able to open additional port access to port 1025 and above. "
    Please help me how to send email for machform

    If your hosting company block any port lower than 1025, I'm afraid it won't be possible to connect to Gmail SMTP.

    Your only option would be using the SMTP server provided by your host or not using SMTP at all. Have you tried turning off the SMTP option and send the form using the standard PHP mail function?

    You are awesome.

    I revised my code to use the same email as the sender but I got the error can't connect to SMTP server, I searched your forum; called GoDaddy and this crappy company blocks those two ports for shared hosting. InMotion Hosting doesn't block them, so I tested the same settings on another account that I have with InMotion and it worked. I disabled SSL in my config.php and I get the error that you mentioned; so it's indeed using the secure SMTP of Google.

    Thanks a lot!
