Yes, that was it. Thanks for your help. It would have been more useful if the error message was clearer. Also, this has been going on for a month, and I only found out because a few new users weren't getting their confirmation emails. Perhaps there could be a better way of indicating to admins...

You mean on my web host's firewall? I don't even know if there is a firewall or any ports being blocked on my host. This all worked fine until I switched to Google...

I'm new to xenForo, and I find the admin interface inscrutable. I've installed the add-on, and I can't for the life of me find where I access its setting. In the Add-Ons section, there's only the names of the add-ons I've added. In other words, for use noobs, it might be a good idea, in your...
