Any Straight Answer? Gmail / google apps SMTP
Is there a sure-fire way to get google apps smtp working in drupal? All the searches I've done turn up nothing with a solution, or really old stuff for old versions.
using:
drupal 6.12
google apps
I'm trying "SMTP Authentication Support" 6.x with phpmailer 5.02 installed with the following settings:
Turn this module on or off: ON
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Use encrypted protocol: SSL
Username: admin@mydomain.com
Password: mypassword
I get "
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
"
on every attempt to send email either via contact form, or using the test for in the SMTP config "E-mail address to send a test e-mail to: "
Is there a solution for this? or any other details to check whether gmails end or mine?
google apps / gmail is set up fine. I can send email from mail.yahoo.com to admin@mydomain.com and reply back and it's all good. people can direct email me just fine, and I can reply just fine. drupal & google smtp aren't working.

have you investigated the smtp.module?
can you provide a link? the
can you provide a link?
the module I've been trying is http://drupal.org/project/smtp. it's called "SMTP Authentication Support"
Is there a newer, better module? searches containing smtp and/or gmail return so many irrelevant results that it's hard to find any info.

that's the module
the project page is called SMTP Authentication support but the module itself is smtp.module.
