SendGrid will stop working for SellerDeck

Karen, great. I've amended my post #12 to remove the "untested" status.

I am having trouble with this, please can someone point me in the right direction.

I have created an API key in Sendgrid like this (not my actual key!):



I have made the variable and the password as above is entered in the top level value.

SMTP Library has this edit:

return (GetSMTPUsername() eq 'apikey' ? '<actinic:variable name="SendgridApiKey" encoding="perl" />' : $sPassword);
}

Network settings are (I have also tried 587):



Publish to web, but when I try the contact us form I get:

 SendMail: Unable to establish an SMTP connection to smtp.sendgrid.net Net::SMTP: connect: timeout

Please wait for your browser to forward you to the next page or click here.

All help and advice gratefully received.

Thank you

Some hosts block the normal smtp ports. Try 2525.

I also have 'Use Secure SMTP' unticked. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Thank you Mike, I will keep testing.

Hi Jonathan. I don’t know if this is related to your other post about Easyspace/Iomart, but I am with them and have previously tried every conceivable way to get Norman's solution to work without success unfortunately. I tried ports 25, 2525, 465 and 587, and all returned mail socket or timeout errors when I tried to use the mailform or make an order. I had to assume smtp.sendgrid.net was correct as that was on their site instructions.

As well as Sendgrid I also tried SendinBlue, using instructions for both SMTP and API sending. No luck at all.
