    Hello,
    I can’t believe I still have the same problem after weeks! BUT, here goes….

    I have a simple contact form to send out pdf files, so I downloaded the plugin WP Mail SMTP and followed the WP instructions. It would not send a successful test mail.
    After several attempts to help me, my hosting (Bluehost) finally sent me this message:

    “I have checked this issue with my admins and we found that the SMTP plugin is causing the issue. Hence I would request you to contact them and check the configuration and they will help you to re-configure it and the issue will be fixed.”

    Where do I go from here? Any help appreciated.
    Jude

    The error log is:
    Versions:
    WordPress: 5.4.1
