Id like to thank all for their assistance and patience with me regarding using X10 email services
A special word of thanks to mrburnsx for the valuable input issued
This is what I found as error in my coding for those wishing to set up this service
This beats trying to set up oa2auth which is one headache and half
1: Ensure your https certificate is valid if not renew this via the CPanel
2:
A . Enable DKIM
Email Accounts > Enable DKIM
B. SPF Record missing a sending IP Address
Locate your TXT Record in DNS Management containing v=spf1 and add one of the following to it (ip4:198.91.80.251 or a:edge.x10hosting.com)
C. DMARC Record missing
In Account Manager > DNS Management > Add Record (Name: _dmarc, Type: TXT, TXT Record Type: DMARC), the hosting control panel will walk you through the process.
Next goto GitHub and download the PHPMailer package
Here is the address PHPMailer
Unzip this folder to your local hardrive where you are composing your website eg as example mine might be X10Website
Next : Use this code below to create your mail script and name its to something like send_mail.php
A very big thank you to all now hopefully I can complete the rest
