I've been trying to solve this problem for a few days now, but no success so far. I've seen a lot of questions regarding the same problem, but most of them are related to a gmail.com account.
I'm trying to use it with another SMTP through a WP Plugin on my website (WP-Mail-SMTP), but I keep getting Connection Timeout. I've tried to search if my smtp provider (EuroDNS) conflicts with PHPMailer but it resulted 0 answers on google.
I've already tried changing ports (465, 587, 25) and changing encryptions methods (SSL, TLS) but I keep getting the same result.
Is there anyway I can solve this issue?

So I have a VPS (Cent Os 7) and using openvpn I created VPN having an address of 10.0.8.1 now on my front end I connected to VPN using openvpn after connecting I get access to websocket on 10.0.8.1 but its not secure I want access to wss on the same address. I have also tried using a secure domain name to connect but it still fails I can only connect it with either http or ws and not with https or wss
This is very trivial as far as a question but all in all, without telling you how to perform anything in details - the question is WWAAAYYY too broad to even consider answering without unevitably creating more questions than solving a problem or helping you.
You need to add cryptography to your websocket server, same as a web server is able to run in HTTPS mode rather than unencrypted. I'm sure you can see the similarity between both abreviations of the respective protocols and how they are different from their original, unencrypted/vulnerable default configuration.
http -> https
ws -> wss
Start reading on adding a SSL certificate to your websocket server config and then you will have a WSS connection - if all goes well of course!
I believe in you
p.s. - this is not the type of question that is very well received by the majority of the community. It is too broad to be of any interrest to anyone.A complete, well-built, comprehensive answer isn't something that fits within the boudaries of most community members as there is WAY too many variables and unknowns here. Anything will most likely create more questions (of this quality) than help you or anyone else. You lack basic knowledge in order to construct a question that doesn't sound anything other than 'i need a full tutorial'. Community doesn't provide tutorials, custom solutions or anything that resssembles a full product/service. We rather help solve smaller, more precise and clear issues that pop up day to day in the field. Generally, when someone "talks the talk", it implies that the bases are covered and an issue arose. For now, you must learn to "walk the walk" i suppose.
Everyone wore the same shoes at some point or another and good memory comes from remembering such stuff from when we started playing with the wall socket angry pixies!

Our IP address recently got listed on UCEPROTECT-1 as a potential spam address, and we aren't able to figure out how to stop this. According to their website, UCEPROTECT-1 listing happens when: IP's get listed in Level 1 automatically if they either try to deliver e-mails to spamtraps or if they are involved in port scans or probes or any kind of attacks against our servers
Some research online suggests that the only way to ensure it doesn't happen again is to find out what is triggering these spam traps and plug them.
Any idea how we can go about looking for what is triggering these automatic listings? Any help would be appreciated!
Some background:
We use GSuite for our email servers, wix.com for our website, and namecheap.com for our DNS.
We'd originally paid to not be listed in the UCEPROTECT-2 and 3 listings but were automatically removed as soon as we got listed under UCEPROTECT-1.
I don't know how G-Suite works but in general check
logfiles of the outgoing e-mail servers for days with "strange" recipients patterns or for more e-mails than on other days
if your domain is listed on other blacklists, maybe that is giving you other hints
The problem is: if you are using the outgoing e-mail servers from Google and some of them are listed on UCEProtect (because other G-Suite customers are sending spam, mostly without knowing it cause they are hacked), you have little chance of fixing this yourselve. This is not really uncommon, me.com/icloud.com (17.58.63.0/24) is listed at UCEProtect right now too.
I'm aware this may not be the right place to ask this, but I don't know where else and others may encounter the same issue.
I'd like to have an aggregated view (or an alert) when some recipients in my contact list don't receive any of the emails my app sents. Is this possible?
I checked on the alert thing in the docs but it doesn't seem to do what I need. Although this seems like a pretty common need and there may not be necessary to setup webhooks and own app logic to handle this, wouldn't it?
Thanks
I have also faced same issue with cPanel and many other providers like Mailchimp. This usually happens due to Empty Subject due to which Cross-Server Contacts may not happen. Also, if you are using PHPmail() or sendmail function instead of SMTP, You need to be using TLS1.2 or TLS1.3 though 1.0 is also supported but many of my E-mails were not delivered so I upgraded to TLS 1.3 . Also, Check if your mail goes to Spam Folder. In that case, increase your Website and Domain Score and Try to rank in Google Safe Browsing. Also, this also happens due to misleading Hosting Provider whose SMTP servers are not setup correctly or Provider send many spam messages due to which, you domain score may got low. I currently use interserver_smtp and cloudmate_smtp collectively for all my clients as interserver deliverablility in India is low and cloudmate works in both texas and india correctly. Try cPanel or Plesk as it has the best deliverability. One More thing, This could also be an issue of DNS. Check your DNS settings if MX records are pointed to MailJet Servers.
I did some digging and the closest thing I came to information regarding this issue was this hostgator support document. I've tried that and the messages being sent by my server (coincidentally enough, run by hostgator) are still getting rejected even after using that advice.
How did you lot get around this?
We run a large online community in the Netherlands. Because of that we send a lot of mail to the hotmail email addresses of our members.
Recently we have noticed that not all mail is reaching our members, because we have hit a certain limit or so it seems.
Google doesn't give a solution (yet) but we see a lot of others having the same problem.
Note, We have added (since long) SPF records for our domain, in TXT and SPF types.
What else can we do to tackle this problem?

To add to what bzlm said, hotmail probably isn't rejecting your mails, so much as trying to use rate-limiting to prevent spam. That said, there are a few potential solutions you could use here. You could contact hotmail and see about getting your mailserver exemption status from their rate-limiting. Depending on the size of your community, they may or may not respond to you or be willing to work with you. I suggest this only as the "diplomatic" solution.
Or, you could set up two mail servers; one for hotmail users, and one for everybody else. I know from some of the sites that I run that a lot of people register with hotmail accounts, mostly because everybody has one which they use as a "spam dump" for online services where they don't want to use their real email address. So, as you no doubt realize, the number of hotmail users in your database represents a fairly substantial percentage. Therefore, when you need to send an email, you could determine whether to send it to your normal SMTP server, or your hotmail-designated one. On the hotmail SMTP service, you'd need to add some type of waiting mechanism to sleep a certain amount of time after receiving a 421 response.
The problem with this idea is that the number of hotmail users you have, plus the delay you'll encounter in sending, means that the queue length might very well exceed the number of mails you must send. You could alleviate this problem by setting up secondary/tertiary servers, preferably on other networks... but I'm getting ahead of myself here. At any rate, I did a bit of googling around (as you probably have, too), and this isn't such an uncommon problem, but there is no obvious solution to it.
So likely, you'll either have to create some type of slightly-unorthodox network workaround, or try the "diplomatic" route and contact an organization unlikely to care about your problem. I'd suggest doing both in parallel. :)
421 means that the service is not currently available, and that the client should try again. This could be for any number of reasons, including trying to discourage you from too frequent mailing if Hotmail thinks you might be a spambot.
Why not simply let your outbound smtpd queue the mails and try again?
Why is "not all mail reaching your members"? Don't you try again if you get a 421 response?
EDIT: Do what sqook says.
The only real way to "get around" this is to become a good e-mail citizen. Make it easy for people to unsubscribe from your notifications, establish complaint feedback loops with the major mail providers, remove bouncing e-mails from your list automatically, don't send people e-mails they don't want to receive. Failing to adhere to these simple requirements makes you look like a spammer, and providers like Hotmail will treat you like one.
The mail server IP connecting to Outlook.com server has exceeded the rate limit allowed. Reason for rate limitation is related to IP/domain reputation. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your Email/Internet Service Provider for help.
