Hello...
I have a little problem with the mails on my forums. I use smtp.gmail.com. I added the aspmx2.googlemail.com. on my MX records. But for some reason the forum doesn't sent mail activation, password recovery etc. Can someone tell me what I must do with steps from the start?
thank you!
Try each of these. Hopefully one of them works for you.
Mail Handler: SMTP Mail
SMTP Hostname: mail.4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Port: 25
SMTP Username: admin+4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Password: <YOUR PASSWORD>
SMTP Encryption Mode: None
Mail Handler: SMTP Mail
SMTP Hostname: mail.4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Username: admin+4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Password: <YOUR PASSWORD>
SMTP Encryption Mode: SSL
Mail Handler: SMTP Mail
SMTP Hostname: mail.4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Username: admin+4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Password: <YOUR PASSWORD>
SMTP Encryption Mode: TLS
to <YOUR PASSWORD> I sould add my admin password? sorry but I'm lost!
Your gmail account password.
to make this clear, I do not understand what must I add on
SMTP Username: admin+4arabi.co.cc
SMTP Password: <YOUR PASSWORD>
what do you mean when admin+4arabi.co.cc? my admin mail+4arabi.co.cc and my mail password?
and 1 more thing.... must change anything in my General Configuration?
I've seen this mail.4arabi.co.cc settings in a few posts now and a few users have said that it actually works for them. I personally would not feel comfortable sending my gmail password to a third party, and that too with a domain like mail.4arabi.co.cc but to each their own I guess.
Are you trying to setup a gmail account or a google apps account? If you're setting up a gmail account, you don't have to set any MX records, thats only needed when you're setting up a google apps mail for your domain.
The settings for gmail/google apps are as follows:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answe...swer=13287
SMTP hostname: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP port: 465
SMTP username: <username>@gmail.com (If you're using google apps then this will be <username>@<your domain>
SMTP password: <YOour Password>
SMTP Encryption Mode: SSL Encryption
Limitations:
- Your server should be able to open ssl sockets in order to use the above since gmail only accepts ssl/tls connections.
- If you send too many emails or your IP gets blacklisted, you may be banned from gmail service, or blocked for a period of time, or will be asked to unlock your captcha (RE:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=we...bJeA0vpnbg ) This is mostly with google apps account though, I'm yet to see a gmail account asked to unlock captcha.
Check your logs as the return messages from the gmail smtp are very descriptive and will tell you exactly what your problem is.
