This is the code I use to send mails with a simple form on my website. _omschrijving, _email, _naam are fields from the class the method is in. I also changed information like passwords for security purposes. I tried using this from my localhost and it failed. It could not connect to the server.
I tried publishing my project to the webserver (where the mailserver is also located) and it worked perfectly.
I'm glad it works, but I wonder why it wouldn't connect to the mailserver when debugging on the localhost? Can anyone explain this behaviour?
yes your hoster configured his mail-server to only accept connections from his very own webservers which is also common practice for database-severs
