Guessing based on your output you are trying to configure WordPress Mail… are you authenticating with WordPress for SMTP?

Also would need to know a little more about your setup, is WP(wordpress) on the same box as mailinabox? Same VPS? Same Network?

There’s a lot here that your leaving out…

Also try 587 for a port too? STARTTLS might let this go though vs 465 (SSL)

Can you help me help you?

  • Encryption – TLS;
  • SMTP Port – 587;
  • Authentication – On;
  • SMTP Username – the email address you want to send emails from – for example, [email@yourdomainname.com]
  • Password – the password for the email address you have set in the SMTP

what logs do you get on the MiaB server?

run this command:

sudo tail -f /var/log/mail.log

Send a Test Email from the Box

What output is in the above command log.
