trying to use Gmail SMTP servers for vB emails, but it's not working
I originally posted this in General, but it wasn't getting any attention, and I can't bump that thread, so I thought I'd put it in here where it probably should've been originally (oops).
I'd like to use Gmail's SMTP server to send all forum emails because we've been having some issues sending emails. A lot of free servers will accept them from our server (like Gmail and Yahoo!), but most school and business email addresses never get the email confirmation sent to them. I figure that using Gmail's SMTP server will fix this, but it's just not working. Here're the settings we're using: SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com port: 465 SMTP username: [username]@gmail.com password: [password] SMTP secure connection: TLS When running the diagnostic, there's a delay of about 30 seconds, and then we get this error: Quote:

SSL requires a different port, though. According to http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=13287 I need to use port 995 for SSL. I tried that, and I get the same error.
Any idea? |

Can you check the mail logs on the server?

Maybe try a telnet on Gmail's 465 port sending it a HELO to see if SSL is offered or if they only offer TLS / Starttls |

HAHAHA! I can't believe I misread it like that. I just changed it to SSL with port 465, and it worked perfectly. Wow. Thanks for the help guys. It's working!
