Trying to set up this module to work with gmail.

I've installed and configured Gmail correctly but can't send mail. I tried both the latest beta release and dev snapshot and nothing is working. This is whas was logged in debug mode:

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

Do I need to configure phpmailer for Gmail? Is there any other instructions outside of the install.txt that I am missing?

Post all of your settings in order to review that they are correct. Leave out personal information (i.e. real email address and password).

Hi,

See the attached screenshot.

I see this now: SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111) SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (0)

And the following in my logs:

fsockopen() [<a href='function.fsockopen'>function.fsockopen</a>]: unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:587 (Connection refused) in /homepages/..../sites/all/modules/smtp/phpmailer/class.smtp.php  on line 122.

fsockopen() [<a href='function.fsockopen'>function.fsockopen</a>]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Connection refused) in /homepages/..../sites/all/modules/smtp/phpmailer/class.smtp.php  on line 122.

Error sending e-mail from johnsmith@mydomain.com to someone@example.com : SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused (111) SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known (0)

BTW, the screenshot includes the settings you asked for and I have changed the email addresses and other sensitive information that were generated by the error messages and also included in the screenshot.

Try port 587 with TLS encryption protocol.

I change the port 587 with TLS encryption protocol, but repeat the same error.

Keith in my response above I have pointed out that I have indeed used port 587.

I've tried all combinations. Nothing works. Been more than a month now since I posted this but couldn't get any help with this from the developers so I've discarded the module.

Here is another alternative folks: http://drupal.org/project/phpmailer

+1 on phpmailer. I converted all my sites to it a couple of months ago. Works flawlessly on gmail.

Perhaps your hosting account system wants you to use email of your domain like abc@yourdomain.com which is already setup one their email system. Try to use the follow setup. It worked for me. Your SMTP server should be relay based instead of normal smtp server like smtpout.secureserver.net:

SMTP Server: relay-hosting.secureserver.net
SMTP User: abc@yourdomain.com
SMTP Passwork: leave blank
SMTP Port: 25
SMTP Authentication: No
SMTP Encryption: None

Good luck

#11 works for users that hosts sites in GoDaddy

I ran into the same problem with a Drupal 6 site, where the client uses Godaddy for hosting and Gmail for their email.

After spending a lot longer than I'd like to admit on this, I tried point #11 but it didn't work until I left the SMTP user as blank.

Under SMTP Auth Support settings:

SMTP server: relay-hosting.secureserver.net
SMTP port: 25
Use encrypted protocol: no

SMTP auth (make sure you set BOTH to blank)
--email: blank
--password: blank

Email from: {your@email.com}

I hope this helps!

Just to confirm, this was the resolution to fix the SMTP problem on GoDaddy. It only took 3 days to find this solution.

I have a lot of apologizing to Godaddy.... #14 worked (thanks billyroebuck). Actually godaddy was my backup I seem to have the same issue authenticating to an exchange server as well. Any idea why proper authentication does not work?

For my particular case connecting to Gmail, I need to let Gmail know that I was allowing "less secure apps" to access my gmail account (this was testing from local development setup). When I adjusted those settings in Gmail, everything worked as expected. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
