    Posted: 09 January 2007 at 3:55pm
Supposing my ISP blocks outbound SMTP but allows secure SMTP communication using TLS... Can I configure WebWiz somehow to relay outbound email so that it relays through my google email account?  When I try to plugin smtp.gmail.com with Googles credentials I get a startTLS error... Wondering if there is a way around this...
 
Thanks!

In case anyone's interested, I was able to solve this and can now successfully relay through my gmail account, more specifically I relay through my own domain which is hosted through google's "free apps for your domain service"...
 
The way I solved this is I point the forum's SMTP settings to 127.0.0.1, where I installed a free app called stunnel.  stunnel will take the communication and encrypt it over SMTPS (SSL) to google so it can be securely relayed!!  ISP's (cable modems etc) are really starting to crack down on outbound SMTP, so this is an awesome work-around!

Hey kpdillon,

My server is not my PC. I use a reseller hosting :(

If you get creative, you can still make it work.   All you need to do is point it to a server that will handle the relaying for you.
