CodePudding user response：

Notice how you're asking to connect to smtp.gmail.com in your script, but it's actually connecting to cp-dxb-001.bamboozle.me?

That's because your hosting provider is redirecting your SMTP traffic to their mail server, as described in the troubleshooting guide.

Unfortunately you disabled TLS certificate verification, so it connected anyway, and as a result you gave away the credentials to your gmail account, and now you'll need to change your password. The lesson here is to read the error message, and don't disable certificate verification.

You will either need to use their mail server, convince them to stop redirecting your SMTP traffic, or find a better hosting provider.
