XF 1.5 Confirmation emails not sending

[Crimsonwrath]

Hey, so my forums (skyblockzone.site) is not sending confirmation emails. Please note that I'm new to Xenforo, so if there is a solution please water it down so I'll be able to understand it
So what I do know is that my hosting service (namecheap) opened port 465 for outgoing connections, so it is not an issue on their behalf.
Here are my configurations in options>email settings

Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Also note that I own the email address skyblockforums@gmail.com, and I wish to use that as the email that users recieve confirmations from. Thanks!

The last errors you've shown aren't related to sending email. One is related to bounce processing; the other you posted elsewhere and is related to an add-on.

Your configuration screenshot doesn't totally seem to match with the bounce processing error as that points to pop.gmail.com and your latest screenshot doesn't.

Are there any errors related to email sending?

you mean a screenshot of the home > options > email options?

That is how I had configured for the first 48h:

I dont have bluehost, but googling for how to setup a mail client I get these results:

I appreciate box.. whatever is pertaining to a recommented smtp setup but they are advising mail.stereo2go.org (which does ping) and is the same ip as the box.... whatever.

When you send a Test email, (i normally make a test account on my site and setup a user like testuser@stereo2go.org ) this way I am purely testing my own mail setup without involving spam filters etc. Set the account into "awaiting email" and as admin you can keep sending the validation email over and over.

Clear the server error logs and check for errors then.

As Mike said the errors you posted pertained to a bounce issue which you have resolved by using your own domain. This needs more configuration (like do you really want all the bounces going to admin? )
