WordPress running on Linux. All code/plugins are current.
Originally, we used the standard email configuration (no configuration) to submit mail from the WordPress contact forms. Out of the blue, this began failing recently (unknown date).
In an attempt to skirt around the localhost mail server issues, I installed the WordPress Configure SMTP plugin. It allows direct SMTP authentication.
Using that plugin, I have tried every combination of username/password/server/port that I can think of and every one of them fails.
This client is using Google Apps. As I understand it, we can't send mail from our web servers using Google Apps due to Google requiring SSL/TLS.
I also tried creating a new subdomain so that I would have a local SMTP account. The new subdomain is "service.domain-name.com". I created a "noreply" account on that subdomain, which also yields an error while trying to send an email to my Google Apps account (the specific error for this setup is "Data Not Accepted").
What is the best way to send email from a PHP app? Nothing I try seems to work.
