I just had this issue and solved it by editing mail php under config folder  Usually when using shared hosting  they hosting company allows you to create an email such as      XXXX yourdomainname com     So go to email settings under you shared hosting cpanel and add new email  Take that email and password and set it in the      mail php    It should work

In my case  I had trouble with GoDaddy and SSL encryption   Setting the encryption to Null and Port to 80  Or any supportive port  did the job

Fatal error  Uncaught exception  Swift TransportException  with message  Connection could not be established with host smtp gmail com  Connection refused  111    Connection refused is a very explicit and clear error message   It means that the socket connection could not be established because the remote end actively refused to connect   It s very unlikely that Google is blocking the connection   It s very likely that your web hosting provider has firewall settings that block outgoing connections on port 465  or that they are blocking SMTP to Gmail   465 is the  wrong  port for secure SMTP  though it is often used  and Gmail does listen there   Try port 587 instead   If the connection is still refused  call your host and ask them what s up

tcp 465 was blocked  Try to add a new firewall rules and add a rule port 465  or check 587 and change the encryption to tls

If you have hosted your website already it advisable to use the email or create an offical mail to send the email Let say your url is www example com  Then go to the cpanel create an email which will be send example com  Then request for the setting of the email  Change the email address to send example com  Then change your smtp which will be mail example com  The ssl will remain 465

firstly check for gmail SMTP server   you should have to allow access for less secured apps without allowing swift mailer is not possible for this login in your email account first then go into privacy settings and then click on sign and security then click on apps without access and then make on to less secure apps option then try mailer again  it will work then
