Cannot Send Test SMTP

[johnywhy]

hi,

at Test SMTP, i get

Code Select Expand

Trying to send email...
SMTP send:  NOT OK(Connection failed: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused)

it's a gmail account. my config file says:

Code Select Expand

...
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
...
$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 465;
...

i'm entering:

Code Select Expand


User: [email protected] OR myusername (neither works)
Password: mypassword
Sender: [email protected]
Recipient: anyEmailAddress

what should i do?

I think its "ssl://smtp.gmail.com" although "ssl://smtp.googlemail.com" may work as well. Also make sure your web server firewall isn't blocking access to smtp.gmail.com:465.

my web host says:

We had initiated an rbltest of the google's smtp server and it appears to be not blocked on our end.  Please see the results below.

host smtp.googlemail.com
smtp.googlemail.com is an alias for googlemail-smtp.l.google.com.

Whats most likely going to be blocked on your host is port 465, it doesn't look like they checked that.

[johnywhy]

they just told me:

Please be informed that since the application is installed in 1&1 web space, you only allowed to use SMTP server of 1&1.

How can i set my host (1&1) SMTP server to copy the sent mails to my gmail sent folder?

[johnywhy]

more info from my host:

Basically, we do not block external mail servers. However, If you have issues with the outgoing mail servers you are using. We recommend you to use the 1&1 mail servers

any suggestions?

this is like the 3rd time in the past 2 years i've tried to use roundcube, and something always gets in the way.

i really want to stop using desktop email clients, they are slow-loading, every one i've tried.

please help.
