Please help.

In my organization, we have installed the community version of limesurvey, but when I try to send an email the error appears below:

Error message: SMTP connect() failed. github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

You should examine the settings in your email clients a bit more.

There are two "flavours" of transport encryption available for email.
1. "SMTPS" SMTPSecure = 'ssl', and usually requires Port = 465.
2. "SMTP+STARTTLS", SMTPSecure = 'tls', and usually requires Port = 587 or 25.

In LimeSurvey you can choose SMTP encryption: TLS or SSL

So try SSL and enter correo.ecrgroup.cl:465
And try TLS and enter correo.ecrgroup.cl:587

Depending on the server, you're hosting LimeSurvey on, you might not allowed to make SMTP connections at all or on certain ports.

The meaning of the word "stable" for users
