Hi David, I’m still having issues with this. I’ve checked with my web hosting provider and they have confirmed that I should be able to connect without authentication. Have you done any test connections with authentication disabled?
Yes, that is correct. I’m in the Swift SMTP settings.
Yes, they recommended connecting without authentication. The error message appears able the ‘Send Test Email (Save First!)’ CTA in the Swift SMTP settings in WordPress.
Thank you. I have installed the update to 6.1.1 and have tried again with SMTP username and password fields empty, but I get the same error message again.
