grantwood Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hello, I am trying to configure WHMCS to send email via my Gmail account, but I am getting SMTP errors in the Activity Log. I am using the settings listed here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287 Mail Type: SMTP SMTP Port: 587 SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Username: Full email address SMTP SSL Type: TLS I have tried variations, like port 465 and SSL, but no luck. What am I doing wrong? Regards, Sean 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arabtouch Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hello, Don't try to use the default SMTP for gmail to send emails to clients or notifications as this will cause the suspension of your email with them as happened with me. It's just an advice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The error message is: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host I am using WHMCS 4.5.1. Do you have port 587 open in your firewall? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
