 Topic: How to configure email settings for Google Apps?
Posted: 22 January 2011 at 8:03am |
I have the mail for my domain handled by the Google Apps for domains. I want to configure the WebWiz Forums to work with it. I tried setting the Outoing SMTP server as smtp.gmail.com and using AspEmail as the Email Component, but I get
Persits.MailSender.4
530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. f7sm7728688icq.17
What should I do to enable the integration?

I don't think this would work at all
The web wiz forum software (wherever you are running it) on the server, would need that particular server mail settings, not Google Apps
I may be wrong

I use Google Apps for my email as well, and it works fine on my forum... I use a mail server called MailEnable (With Relay enabled for authenticated clients, in my case localhost). On the forums email config section, I have: - Email Component to use: CDOSYS
- Outgoing SMTP Mail Server: localhost
- Outgoing SMTP Mail Server Username: the-relay-username-here
- Outgoing SMTP Mail Server Password: the-relay-password-here
Hope this helps... |

The problem rgelb seems to be with the component you are using, it looks like AspEmail is not issuing a STARTTLS command.
The STARTTLS command would be used for a secure SSL Connection to the mail server. You would need to check if AspEmail allows SSL connections to an SMTP server, if it does you may need to change the code in Web Wiz Forums to support this, or see if Google have a non SSL SMTP server.
However, you should use an SMTP server on the local network to where your forum is hosted. The reason for this is that when you create a post email notifications would be sent, if the main server is not on the same network the lag times would severely slow your forum down.

You guys seem real caught up in what we should be doing. I think "you should" be supporting the customer's requirements.
I can't believe I've got to hack your code to support SSL in 2011.
Google Apps is our email. I don't want to set up an SMTP server on my website system. I shouldn't have to.

This is a recommendation, or best practice, if you do not want to use a local network or server mail server you do not have to.
The reason for the recommendation is that often when people complain their forums are running slow then the reason for it is that they are using a remote mail server on a different network.
Web Wiz Forums currently does not support SLL for email as there has not been any demand for it. However, if you feel that you would like to see the feature, then why not place a request in the suggestion forum and we will see if it can be added to a future release.
