Rainloop-webmail: stream_socket_client()

[Ordovicium]

Expected behavior and actual behavior:

I changed on my shared host provider to PHP 7 where I get now the message for every domain: stream_socket_client() has been disabled for security reasons

Is there a work around or setting to use a different methode?

[ESVDESIGNER]

In order to eliminate this error message you need to do ONE of the following things:
Remove the stream_socket_client string from the disable_functions at php.ini* file
Ask your hosting provider to remove the string above if you don't have an access to the php.ini* file
Change hosting provider which allows the running of the stream_socket_client function.

I don't have access to php.ini and I don't like to change my hosting provider. Therefore I asked for a work around or different methode. Is fsockopen equal?

No, there are no other possibilities. But if your provider blocks the stream_socket_client function, then most likely all such things are also blocked.
