SMTP

[Alien595]

Hey there, I'm trying to configure the SMTP email settings & it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using SMTP as PHP mail never worked for me & was very slow, like 5hours to receive the email. This is the server I use with all my other sites/forums & it works.

I set the following setting in the local.config.php file:

# Email Settings
Config::Set('EMAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Zip Virtual');
Config::Set('EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', 'flyzipvirtual@gmail.com');

Config::Set('EMAIL_USE_SMTP', true);
# Add multiple SMTP servers by separating them with ;
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_SERVERS', 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com');
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_PORT', '465');
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_USE_AUTH', true);
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_USER', 'flyzipvirtual@gmail.com');
Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_PASS', '*********');

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_SERVERS', 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com');

All you should need there is

Config::Set('EMAIL_SMTP_SERVERS', 'smtp.gmail.com');

Because you define the port is will use ssl.
