Hi,
I just installed the plugin and tried with both Amazon SES & Mandrill SMTP but always get SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111) ERROR Log copied below. Have checked with Amazon & Mandrill and all my settings are correct. Even changed host and now to Hostgator which is not blocking any ports.
Need help please to get this to work, no idea what else to try.
Thanks,
Yiannis
