I have always used smtp2go as an SMTP server to send emails from my other services (mostly reset password emails or alerts).

I have then tried to setup SubTrackr the same way but I do get some problems:

  1. Clicking in test connection does not show any loader, nor shows a message if the test was successful or not.
  2. Checking in the browser console, I have seen the error: 400 Authentication failed: unencrypted connection
  3. Using an SSL port, the test connection API request just loads until it times out.

SMTP2Go shows this configuration settings (then I do obviously have a username and password).

SMTP Server:  mail.smtp2go.com
SMTP Port: 2525
Alternative ports: 8025, 587, 80 or 25. TLS is available on the same ports.
SSL is available on ports 465, 8465 and 443.

I tested all the ports available. The SMTP ports fail with 400 Authentication failed: unencrypted connection, the TLS ports hang until timeout.

Thanks @GiamBoscaro -- I used smtp2go in the past, I'll flag this as a bug and see what the issue is. Thanks for reporting it.
