My same customer that was having slow down issues with Web5 is now seeing the following error:
"Error 2: Language string failed to load: connect_host"
He has the PHPMailer script (been in place for a couple of years" is all of a sudden failing on the new server.
Here is the code he has had in place for a while (minus private stuff)
Basically the script tries to send out email via his mail.hisdomain.com and if it fails it tries the local host as a backup.
I will try to hard code IP next instead of by dns name for hisdomain and see if it works.
