Title: Possible Gmail Fix
Post by: ahrasis on June 20, 2016, 01:57:03 pm

I can't get my php to send email from my forum due to my server setup so I'll be needing to send email via gmail instead. Unfortunately, I can't get it working either until I digged into this:

Quote from: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=544856.msg3870010#msg3870010Ok I have found a resolution to this problem, which requires a minor code change.

The clue was in this post here:

EHLO invalid argument in ssmtp (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36323790/ssmtp-no-longer-works-invalid-response-501-5-5-4-helo-ehlo-argument-myemaila)

What I've done is edit Sources/Subs-Post.php as follows:

Code: (Find) [Select]
		// EHLO could be understood to mean encrypted hello...
		if (server_parse('EHLO ' . $modSettings['smtp_host'], $socket, null) == '250')
Code: (Replace With) [Select]
		// EHLO could be understood to mean encrypted hello...
//		if (server_parse('EHLO ' . $modSettings['smtp_host'], $socket, null) == '250')
		if (server_parse('EHLO ' . 'localhost', $socket, null) == '250')
All seems to be working now.

Gmail now is working for my forum.

Next, should we fix this in ElkArte?

Interesting! Does gmail have volume limitations that you're aware?

They have limits and you can refer them here:

I think using gmail in our case is subject to the first one because I think relay is somewhat different (I may be wrong about this :D).

What port are you using?
Try 587.

Tested and that port 587 is definitely not working with default 107 Mail.subs.php or after the suggested fix. Only port 467 is currently working with the suggested fix.
