I am having the same exact problem, but how do I change it to SSL from TLS?

Just noticed this thread:

Not sure what exactly people have or have not done, but here is our settings that work for us.

1) PHP

Make sure OpenSSL is uncommented. (In other words, it's loading in PHP)

2) vBulletin Mail Settings (AdminCP → vBulletin Options → Email Options)

SMTP: Yes
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 587 (Can be 465 or 587, one should work)
SMTP Username: youraccount@googledomain.com (Gmail or Google Apps account)
SMTP Password : youraccountpassword
SMTP Secure Connection: TLS

(This information from Google was used to set this up when we first started: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=13287)

This setup has worked for us for a long-time without any hassles. We do have our mail hosted through the Google Apps system.

K im using gmail as described here, should this be on or off? (in before the "what host are you using") I'm at x10hosting.com free plans.

Code:
Enable '-f' Parameter
Some sendmail servers may require the '-f' parameter to be sent with email calls from PHP. If you are having problems with users not receiving email, try enabling this option. In all likelihood, your problem will not be caused by this setting.

This setting does not work when PHP SAFE MODE is enabled.
I just recently changed my email settings as described in this thread, will the system still go crazy and try to say the mail is being sent from x10 this way?

I've noticed that what's doing it is.. everytime the mysql server goes down, vb sends me an email wanting to tell me about it, and for every person who visits, it spits out another email

OK, just ran a test and it sends all email fine EXCEPT these

Is it sending this error message from a different account because the db is down? How to fix this?

I must admit that i have never seen this error message before. What it does show me is that you are using pconnect. In most cases this should not be used and you hsould try to disable it in your config.php.

The error emails are sent from your technical email address as defined in your config.php. It does not matter if the database is online or not when sending these messages.

587 returned errors for me.

465 worked great

You think google will allow me to do this with over 400k users?
