Sample test code smtp.gmail.com

From the PHP manual:

As of PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may prefix the hostname with either 'ssl://' or 'tls://' to use an SSL or TLS client connection over TCP/IP to connect to the remote host.

This simply means, that below 4.3 there is no support for 'ssl://' or 'tls://'.

I, too, am having this problem connecting to gmail. I have a duplicate install using php 5.1 and a troublesome one using 4.2.2

warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:465 in /sites/default/modules/smtp/smtp.module on line 1894.

Darn near a year and a few months later I'm having this problem also. It's not the PHP version, because the shared server I'm on is (still) using 4.3.11. If anyone has any ideas or heard of a patch being released for this, it would be awesome!

I am having Google host my domain's email at Google Apps.
I have chosen all of the various settings (SMTP ports & TLS/SSL) found after searching the internet. But I always get the similar errors.
After 'Save Configuration'

warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 (Connection timed out) in /home2/living/public_html/modules/smtp/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 122.

Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the site admin, if the problem persists.

The last line of class.smtp.php is line 122
#connect to the smtp server
$this->smtp_conn = fsockopen($host, # the host of the server
$port, # the port to use
$errno, # error number if any
$errstr, # error message if any
$tval); # give up after ? secs

I'm not finding anything that works yet.
PS: bluehost is my host, although they do not host my email (google apps does this)

Hi

I suggest a simple test code, this would allow you to check your PHP capabilities and your hosting provider's firewall settings

<?php 

$fp   =   fsockopen("www.google.com",   80,   &$errno,   &$errstr,   10);  // work fine
  if(!   $fp)  
      echo   "www.google.com -  $errstr   ($errno)<br>\n";  
  else  
      echo   "www.google.com -  ok<br>\n";

  
	  $fp   =   fsockopen("smtp.gmail.com",   465,   &$errno,   &$errstr,   10);   // NOT work
  if(!   $fp)  
      echo   "smtp.gmail.com 465  -  $errstr   ($errno)<br>\n";  
  else  
      echo   "smtp.gmail.com 465 -  ok<br>\n";  
	  
	  
	  $fp   =   fsockopen("smtp.gmail.com",   587,   &$errno,   &$errstr,   10);   // NOT work
  if(!   $fp)  
      echo   "smtp.gmail.com 587  -  $errstr   ($errno)<br>\n";  
  else  
      echo   "smtp.gmail.com 587 -  ok<br>\n";  	  

echo "<br />".phpinfo(); 
	  ?>

Thank you open-keywords.

OK, here are the results. I cannot interpret this to any meaningful results (lack of PHP knowledge). I uploaded the page temporarily to: ---------------

www.google.com - ok

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:465 (Connection timed out) in /home2/livingz0/public_html/test.php on line 17

It shows that your hosting provider is blocking the access to smtp.gmail.com on the required ports.
Your PHP version and settings looks fine.

You probably should contact their support.

I've yet to get the info from my ISP, but I'm assuming they do this to help prevent spam and such?

OK, I have my form working. I am using the Webform module http://drupal.org/project/webform. I was using the SMTP Authentication Support as well.
There were 2 things I needed to do.

• First I needed to make sure that when I created the new MX Entries - cPanel in Bluehost.com (in order for Google Apps to host my email) that the option for:
  "Always accept mail locally even if the primary mx does not point to this server." was NOT selected.
• Next I simply disabled the SMTP Authentication Support module.

Returning this issue to it's previous state.

I had the same issue.
But the solution was very simple:
1. go to Modules>Mail: you'll see a NEW option "E-mail engine:".
2. Change it to "SMTP - SMTP mailing engine using SMTP module" and everything will work fine.
