SMTP ERROR

After submitting the 'Suggest a Meia Item' form, I get the following error.

2018-06-27 02:43:49 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061) SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

Can anyone please help me to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Dear Dhanuka Anushanga, I've encountered a similar message in C#. The problem was my Firewall blocked the SMTP connection. I hope it helps you.
