Unable to send email using SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

Anything else?

Fixing it to not break on "250 DSN" allowed the email to be sent successfully.

Thank you for reporting.

But I don't understand why the error occurs.

Uninitialized string offset 3 in D:\xampp\htdocs\test\vendor\codeigniter4\framework\system\Email\Email.php:2106

I'm not sure about the debug logs either. What is "The following SMTP error" ? Can you elaborate?
