Using wordpress app WP Mail SMTP to send emails using yahoo. here is what i already know:
- I have configured yahoo to allow insecure apps.
- My host does not block yahoo's port 465
- using pingdom i get the error:
Delivery over IPv4 to [email protected] could not be done.
Failed to deliver email for SOA RNAME of pureenv.co.uk (dnsadmin.uk42.siteground.eu) using [email protected].
DNSCheck failed to deliver email to the email address listed as the one responsible for the zone.
the error log is below, if someone has some suggestions to what could be causing the error.
