Gmail SMTP Mailer

[Brandin]

Hey guys!

FYI, if you are trying to use Gmail with the PHP mailer, you have to comment out line 115,

Code:

$mail->isSMTP();

or the mail will fail to send! Took me awhile to figure this one out!

Thanks.

That's weird. I have to take a look at that. I only use gmail on mine. Thanks for the tip!

It was very odd. I had to do some goggling with the error it provided me, and that was the result somebody came up with. I used the query "phpmailer error gmail smtp" or something like that. I'll look back and see what I can find and post it.

FYI:

Code:

users/helpers/helpers.php

around line 115 is where you edit this at.

This is the craziest thing @Brandin. I've been using this for months exactly like it was and all of a sudden I wasn't getting system emails. Commenting out line 115 fixed it. Crazy. You saved me a ton of time. THANK YOU!

No problem! Glad I could finally give you a solution I struggled a lot because I use Google Apps, and my cPanel server was producing 550 errors when trying to use phpmail because technically the server didn't own the mail server as I used Google Apps, so I had to do some crazy changes, which I'll have to dig out and post! But yeah, I think it has to do with the only protocol on smtp.googlemail.com or whatever smtp.* URL you use, is SMTP, so defining a protocol can hurt it.

This same solution did help me on another hosted web project, with local smtp.

Comment out $mail->isSMTP(); in
users/helpers/helpers.php around line 115...

@Mudmin - did we deploy a "fix" for this if there is one? Can we do something about if the host == this we don't have that?
