title: How to check whether port 465 is closed or not in Cpanel?
body: <p>I have a problem with my new hosting company. I can't send Emails trough port 465. As you know port 465 used for secure SMTP service and if closed user can't send Emails from external email accounts like Yahoo! or Gmail. For example when I trying to send Email via PHPMailer I receive this Error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now my question is how to check whether port 465 is closed or not in Cpanel? I use <a href="http://portquiz.net/" rel="nofollow">http://portquiz.net/</a> website and it shows that port 465 is blocked. Whats the easiest way to prove the hosting company that they blocked port 465.
  Thanks.</p>
