Hi,

I had set up one smtp server with no issues. then I set up two more one Amazon SES the other a normal SMTP account and both are giving this error when trying to validate.

  • Cannot send the confirmation email using the data you provided.

  • Here is a transcript of the error message:
  • Connection could not be established with host email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known #0]
    Log data:
    ++ Starting Swift_SmtpTransport
    !! Connection could not be established with host email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known #0]

If anyone could assist with how to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it!

This pretty much means your server does not know who the smtp server is, looks like an internal server misconfiguration, a dns issue.
Contact your host about this, they'll know what to do or if you are on a vps with root access, edit /etc/resolv.conf and add google's nameservers in the file, see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

Thanks.
 
I don't think the issue is there according to the host, the application log is saying

I have talked with host all the ports are open credentials are correct and I have even tried installing a new instance to test. I keep getting the same error. ++ Starting Swift_SmtpTransport

[php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known #0]
 
Ok, I have set this up on 4 different servers now including my original with hostgator, an amazon ecs, a linode server, and another vps server all different providers. No matter where (and all the ports are open on all of them) I am getting this error:
  • Connection could not be established with host smtp.direct-cashadvance.com [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known #0]
    Log data:
    ++ Starting Swift_SmtpTransport
    !! Connection could not be established with host smtp.direct-cashadvance.com [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known #0]
I will pay someone to show me how to fix this problem or tell me how to fix this issue because it is obviously not the server issue it is something either in the program or the way I am setting it up, but I am following the instructions to a tee.

Any help would be unbelievably appreciated I have been fighting with this for almost 3 weeks now.

P.S. I have tried multiple SMTP services as well... the one above is just one, I have an amazon SES as well, none work I get the same message for all.
 
Hey,

if you have ssh access to the server, root access, i can quickly fix this issue for you.
Also i'll need backend login to the app.
PM me details.

Thanks.

how to fix?
Thank you!
 
Code: 
$ ping smtp.site.com

ping: cannot resolve smtp.site.com: Unknown host
So that host does not exists, your server correctly reports this.
 
tell me how to fix it?
write a hosting provider?
Mail on the same site hosting works fine through SMTP.
mailwizz script I did not install, and moved to another host.
I'm sorry, I write through a translator.
 
i think instead o using smtp.site.com you should actually write smtp.your-site-name.com where your-site-name.com is actually your site name.
For example smtp.aaaaa.com if aaaa.com is your domain.
 
Ok, that hostname works for me:
Code: 
Starting Nmap 7.00 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2015-12-28 12:36 EET

Nmap scan report for mail.wveb.ru (5.189.142.34)

If it still does not work for you, try using the ip address instead of hostname. if that does not work either, then contact your host and point them to this thread.
