Problem

I have a Google App account for my domain name. I t is a free account that enables all my users to use POP mail service.

That is is has smtp also > smtp.gmail.com port: 465 or 587 (both, one at a time)

Please note: I have enabled POP in the no-reply@mydomain.com and using username no-reply@mydomain.com and its password to send mail. But the WWF generates error:

Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while sending an email.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_Access_send_mail_footer
File Name:- functions_send_mail.asp

Error details:-
jmail.SMTPMail
The message was undeliverable. All servers failed to receive the message




Here is what gmail says about configuration:

----------------------------

Configuring other mail clients

You can use the following information to configure POP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're not able to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your Gmail username (including @gmail.com)
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com)
Password: your Gmail password

Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

--------------------------------



The Solution

I guess as v9.02 is out there, it is appropriate to post it here.

SMTP usually work on port 25, beceuase GMail are using a different port you would need to edit the file functions_send_mail.asp and change the port number.

However, if you try and send email to a remote server like GMail on a different network you will get long delays when posting a message, these will increase as more users request email notification for posts.

This is because a connection needs to be made to the SMTP server for each email, if the mail server is not on a local network then this is often slow and courses delays.

I route outbound email through GMAIL using stunnel.   Have a look at here.  I've been using this solution for month's without any problems.

How difficult would it be to support TLS and SSL relay support natively in Webwiz?

I'm not a programmer but I imagine it would be easier to do in .net then it would be in asp.

To me ASP.Net or ASP they are two different path to reach the destination. I am writing a function to solve this gmail issue right now and it is in ASP.

As WWF Free users are not allowed to modify scripts, I am not modifying any of it. (This is a very very baaaaad idea of borg. we are missing the charm of mods of WWF)
