Serban,
I still have the sending error. I've spent almost all day with Bluehost. Here is the timeline starting last week:
9/9 - Upgraded program, did not send any campaign.
9/16 (today) - Breach in an email
marketing@theskywatergroup.com
All email on the domain was shut down. I deleted the email and Bluehost opened up the email send ability again.
I tested and sent email from
skywaterjets@theskywatergroup.com successfully from my Thunderbird client using the smtp protocol of Bluehost.
I was able to log in and send email successfully using Bluehost's webmail on mail.theskywatergroup.com.
I tested and sent from the same email address on Amazon SES, so I know that is working too.
So both the SMTP and Amazon SES are working separate from Mailwizz.
I went into the backend of Mailwizz and tried to validate the SW Jets server -
skywaterjets@theskywatergroup.com
Bluehosts settings are:
HOST - box1105.bluehost.com
USER -
skywaterjets@theskywatergroup.com
PASSWORD - *****
PORT: 465
PROTOCOL: SSL
The above is all the same as my Thunderbird settings that work and verified as the correct settings from Bluehost technical support.
It still didn't work and they sent me to level II. They looked into a number of areas and finally believed it could be a permission issue in the script they wouldn't know about or some other issue related to the application.
I then decided to try and add a new server with another separate account I have with Bluehost on danoshea.com.
I tried adding and with the same settings except for the respective HOST, USER and PASSWORD, I couldn't Validate on that server either.
With the fact I can't Validate on multiple servers or emails and can't send either with SMTP or Amazon when they are working separate from Mailwizz, I'm of the belief that it has to be an issue with the upgrade. File permissions or something else?
