Email sending works locally but not on a remote server

I have a problem sending email using a server I created in a data center hired.

Email sending works locally normally, although SMTP is in a well-known hosting company (I saw that they allow 20 emails per day from international IP). I have tried using other email services and always works local.

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = $host;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = $user;
$mail->Password = $password;
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 2; 
//$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->From = $from_mail;
$mail->FromName = $from_name;
$mail->addAddress($to);

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 
$mail->isHTML(true);                               

$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body    = $message;

if(!$mail->send()) {
  echo 'Message could not be sent.';
  echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
  exit;
}

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?

The return whenever I try to send on the remote server is

2014-01-19 17:04:52 smtp error: failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110) SMTP connect() failed. Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.

    @Victor and so on. This can be discussed here http://meta.answall.com/questions/o-que-fazer-com-questions-que-podem-lookingdevelopment-mas-se-revealing. and the fact that we don’t have Servefault doesn’t mean we should accept his questions. If you think we should, you can propose in http://meta.answall.com/questions/264/quais-assuntos-devem-fazer-parte-do-nosso-foco-on-topic

Your provider is preventing SMTP on your server / hosting, open a support ticket and ask about the release.

It is a common practice among hosting providers/servers to keep SMTP traffic blocked to prevent customers from sending SPAM.

Some do not release such access on more basic plans, even upon request.

  • I imagined that it was this, but I think it is some configuration that I have to release, anyway they do not offer support in this sense, the server is not managed.

  • No, it is not you who releases or not such configuration, it is who manages your hosting / server.

  • i have root access.

    @Daniellemes Even with root access, the lock can be in the Firewall of the server [physical]. Or maybe it needs to create a endpoint for port X (I had this problem in the past with an Azure server). That is, even the [server instance] not being managed, the problem may be external to him...

  • @Daniellemes you may have better luck installing and configuring an email server on the server you control.
