Could not open a socket to the SMTP server (110:Connection timed out)

[rgrant]

in ipb 3.3.4 (invision power board) i am trying to use email user validation.

in the attachment below you can see my email setup settings.

I purchased my domain name from godaddy so the email is also from them.

info@grantmods.net


In my error logs of my admin control panel of ipb i get an error of : Could not open a socket to the SMTP server (110:Connection timed out).

The email verification is not sent to the user, i need this fix ASAP!

i am trying to use port 25, now knowing x10hosting blocks port 25 after some research.. what ports am i aloud to use in place of port 25?

I do have a free hosting plan from when i purchased ipb but i want to use Cpanel. i think i solved this issue though thanks.
~Answer is~ You can not do this unless you use localhost.

You can either use x10Hosting's SMTP server on localhost or PHP's mail() function to send emails, we do not allow outgoing SMTP connections to other servers, as per http://x10hosting.com/forums/news-a...garding-external-smtp-services-gmail-etc.html

i noticed that and the staff at ipb told me that as well. But i set up a email through Cpanel using local host port 25.

The email was grantmods.net, instead of doing it with godaddy, i seen i could do it in Cpanel as well. Is it suppose to work? or must the email be .x10.mx? so far .x10.mx is the only one that has ever worked for me.
This is no longer an issue as i am going to purchase hosting here soon anyways.
