Moodle 3.9.X SMTP is not working

[mazhar]

Keywords: Moodle - Linux - How to - Email configuration (SMTP)
Description:
I am using google email account and SMTP configuration is as follows:

SMTP Hosts: smtp.gmail.com:587
SMTP Security: TLS
SMTP Auth Type: Login
SMTP username: my gmail address
SMTP password:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When I am testing outgoing email, I am getting the following message.

Your site couldn’t communicate with your mail server. Please check your outgoing mail configuration.

Looking forward to get the response on this asap.
Thanks

Hi,
Can you check you can reach port 587 on smtp.gmail.com ?
