Recently i need to setup the SMTP relay on a Drupal website. The client uses Go Daddy as the email service provider so i just setup a new email account for the SMTP authentication.
As from what i found in the Go Daddy Support
- Outlook 2010: Setting up Email
- Outlook 2007: Setting up Email
- Using Microsoft Outlook 2003 with Your Email
The SMTP server URL is
- smtpout.secureserver.net
But it didn’t work when i tried to send a testing email after setting up the Drupal SMTP module. It throws the following error.
- SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.
Finally, i realize that the client is using the email plan in Asia Pacific region. So the corrent SMTP url should be
- smtpout.asia.secureserver.net
=.= I have spent more than 30 mins to find the solution. Hope it could help you if u meet a similar problem.
Done =)
