I can easily get this to work with regular free Gmail account using smtp.gmail.com ssl, 465 and username, password. But when I plug the same settings into Google Apps premier version with my domain name, it doesn't work. I also tried using the full domain in the username as is suggested on google help docs, but to no avail. Any particular difference in setting up a paid google apps email? If someone did it successfully and can sort of give a screenshot of their settings, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Joseph

sorry, i wrote into, i meant from, when I plug the info from paid account into smtp module page it doesn't work, only free gmail works for me, simple as that.

I don't believe google will allow you to use them as a smtp relay.

Doesn't this post on Google's forum indicate they do allow you to use the premier edition as an smtp relay, and in fact it exceeds the recipient limit of free gmail?

hmm...looks like you can, may have something to do with ssl. Try using phpmailer by itself and see if it works. Another thing to watch out for is if your email@domain.com, if domain.com is the same as the domain for your server, it may not be able to resolve the domain properly because it will resolve to it self. I hate mail servers :).

yes, i was thinking that it was ssl. my domain doesn't have an ssl cert associated with it. but i don't understand why it would work for regular gmail and not premier, when both are smtp.gmail.com. also, i tried using google apps premier account that has a domain name other than my server's and that didn't work.

Doesn't Google use a different port for SSL and tls than standard?

here are the full instructions for configuring both gmail standard and premier versions for mail clients:

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287

Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465

they're the same ports, just different domain names for account and email address
