SMTP-Auth & Gmail Issues

[samhuang]

Hi,

My set up in your ZC is
E-Mail Transport Method sendmail
SMTP Email Account Mailbox enjoyhobbies AT gmail DOT com
SMTP Email Account Password ********
SMTP Email Mail Host smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Email Mail Server Port 465

I go to my CPanel and set the MX to stmp.gmail.com. Do you mean i must set the MX to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM?

OK.. e-mail transport method should be SMTPAUTH and not sendmail.. sendmail you're still using the server you're on to send it . With SMTPAUTH, it goes to the gmail server and tries to send it. I haven't tried it myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work, only thing I can think of is SSL

If your e-mail is hosted by google (meaning your domain name is hosted by them for email).. then yes you need to. If its not, you need to change that back to default because its going to mess stuff up for you

http://mail.google.com/hosted/YOURDO...RE.com/net/org

^^ if you access mail by going to that link, then yes you will need the ASPMX. If not, you need the default value in there

The gmail is my private gmail. I reset my MX to default.
Now I set up:
E-Mail Transport Method smtpauth

But I test the email. My gmail still can't get the test mail

I really don't know what happen?

I setup gmail on my another website powerer by ZC Hosted by Trust4E . My gmail can get all the mail.

[samad64]

can you check to make sure the settings are the same on the one on Trust4E and on Sashbox? Only the settings in the admin panel are really required for SMTP useage

[samhuang]

Hi, the setting of SASHBOX and TRUST4E is the same

I also tried Zen-Cart with Gmail. Seems to work great though. Make sure you have NOT created any email filters from your Gmail account and do NOT enter any SMTPAuth configuration from your configuration - > email options page. Leave it as standard SMTP settings. Do NOT enter any login name and password from that page. Leave it as is.

If the sending port number causes you trouble, simply follow Google's documentation on how to set the correct port for sending emails.

Everything should work from there.

Ah, so its just SMTP - not SMTPAuth. Sorry about that samhuang! I figured it would be auth but I hadn't looked into it too much
