    copied!<p>I read a lot of articles who explains how to send an email with smtp, like this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/712392/send-email-using-gmail-smtp-server-from-php-page">Send email using GMail SMTP server from PHP page</a> I have a cloud server and a localhost setup, both are the same (Centos 6, installed only httpd, php and mysql through yum).

I also tried port 587...</p> <p>I sent a message for my host asking if the ISP could be blocking those ports and they told me they don't block any ports, the clients (me) have full control of the server.</p> <p>I don't know what more can cause this error and what I can do now. Maybe some configuration file I am not seeing.</p> <p><strong>Anyone have some advice to help me or suggest more test I can do to get more information of why I am getting that error and solve this problem?</strong></p> <p>thanks</p>
