Fixes to allow using ssl/tls enabled mailservers (gmail.com)

[Cecil]

What does the output of testmailer.php look like? I included it in the 1.0.x patch.

http://<your joomla site>/testmailer.php

Dear Cyclist, if you meant testmailer.php, i already put in /public_html/ (am i right?). After executing, then it comes up with several warnings.
Warning: main(libraries/phpmailer/phpmailer.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/himpun/public_html/testmailer.php on line 6

Hey guys

what I have just realised is that if u give SMTP server as

Code: Select all

gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

it works.. no ssl required..

I still don't get it. Where should I change it? in configuration.php ?

[khandu]

what i did was simply put it in administrator panel

goto administrator --> Global Configuration --> server

Under mail settings here is what I have

Mailer SMTP Server
Mail from [email protected]
From Name whatuwant
Sendmail Path anything
SMTP Authentication anything as we are using SMTP
SMTP Username [email protected]
SMTP Password urpassword
SMTP Host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

Remember POP should be enabled in your gmail account..

that's it..

its working fine for me for last couple of days.. and the mail is not even going into the user's spam.. tested on couple of accounts..

Here is my setting in global con-mail
b] Mailer [/b] SMTP Server
Mail from LInk
From Name
Sendmail Path /usr/sbin/sendmail
SMTP Authentication Yes
SMTP Username [email protected]
SMTP Password *******
SMTP Host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
It still doesn't work. It surely will work with joomla.1.0.15, won't it? cause I use that version.
Still looking forward getting help from you and anyone else.

Well, I have from name given and I am using Joomla 1.5.2 ..

[greenkoi]

Gosh all mighty.

I've read over every post in this thread and am still banging my head over this one.

I have Google Hosted Apps for the domain: http://www.nashvillelearninggroup.com

As I've read over the posts, I followed some of the steps outlined to resolve this issue including installing the testmailer.php to the root. Feel free to check out the goods at: http://www.nashvillelearninggroup.com/testmailer.php

I'm running 1.0.15 and have applied the patch files but am at a loss to explain what the errors are and what to do to resolve.

Any help would be most appreciated.

[greenkoi]

I sent an email to you....

doesn't work...

"SMTP Error. Connection with SMTP Server failed"

Can you provide a sample of the code which would enable SSL ?

I think I may be running into this issue and would like to give this a try. .

Thanks in advance,

[greenkoi]

Make sure that ssl is enabled in your php.ini. That's why it wasn't working for bambaaacha.

What's the best way to accomplish this?

[khandu]

Hey Cyclist?

Are you still going to be coming out with a new script for 1.5.3 for gmail SSL use?? waiting urgently for it

Thank You

[relaxssl]

It's great!
Thank you very much.

[bignellrp]

Hi guys,

I'm having a similar problem to that mentioned in the first post where all my registration emails to hotmail addresses are being blocked.

I am using Joomla 1.0.13 with CB 1.1 with the standard phpmailer.

I noticed a post in this thread that mentioned using gmail smtp without ssl. Can you do this without patching phpmailer? I need some way of getting registration mails to hotmail and aol users without them being blocked, as they dont even arrive in junk when sent to hotmail at the moment.

I tried gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com with smtp set to YES and my @googlemail.com username and password but no emails arrived to anyone, hotmail or otherwise.

So my questions:
1. Can you do this without patching phpmailer?
2. Is there an alternative email method when using joomla1.0.13 and cb1.1 to get round hotmail blocking registration emails?

Thank You

Me too... I put the previous patch but dont work

[ttdwd]

I would also love a 1.5.2 patch what happened to posting it on that particular monday

[mastkalandar]

hi,
for joomla 1.0.15
i have given the following config:

Mailer: SMTP Server
Mail From: [email protected]
From Name: myname
Sendmail Path: /usr/bin/senmail
SMTP Auth: Yes
SMTP User: my gmail Id
SMTP Pass: my password (gmail)
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com

but i get the following error:

fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:25 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\includes\phpmailer\class.smtp.php on line 105

Your email failed to send! Please try again.

Is there anything wrong in my setting or do i need some hack?

[mknz]

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com

should be

SMTP Host: gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

BUT BEWARE!!!

My new Joomla 1.15 site which already has 4000+ members (all wanting to know their passwords now) got flagged as spamming by the google bulk filters ("temporarily"...which in my world is WAY too long).

just be careful

[mastkalandar]

well i still get the same error:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com:25 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\includes\phpmailer\class.smtp.php on line 105
Your email failed to send! Please try again.

Is this a problem not concerning joomla,i mean some external settings are causing this?My php is not that good and i cannot figure it out but i need new registrants to be sent mail when their accounts are approved and am not able to get it done.

Tried sendmail.It says the email is sent but no mail is received by the recipient.
php mail is also not working.

[Zjooj]

Had to throw my two cents in on this...

This does work for me in Joomla1.5.2 (Not sure of the RC# at the moment) but it only allows me to send to other GMail accounts. Anytime I send an email (new user back end and when requesting/signing up a user account on the front end) to any other domain @yahoo; @msn etc it responds with an error that states:

[email protected]

My settings match perfectly to the original settings that include gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com in the SMTP host under global config\server.

If I am missing something please let me know but I cannot get this to work for any other domain except GMail.

Jack (Zjooj) Hunter

P.S. my POP3 and IMAP are enabled in the GMail account being used as the SMTP server

I need to get SMTP mail working. PHPmail and Sendmail work fine, but I am having difficulty with the recommended patch and can't find what changes need to be made to that PHP.ini file only that others have been told to check and fix their php.ini file.

I have tested the SMTP directly and it is working fine
I have tested sending mail through Joomla using PHPmail and Sendmail and those work fine.

I attempted usign SMTP without the ssl mod and it failed, with an "SMTP Error! Could not connect to SMTP host."

My SMTP host is not gmail... it will accept secure and unsecure connections. However this seemed to be a valid test of an unsecure connection and it failed.

I am running:
Joomla 1.5.3
MySQL is 14.7 Distribution 4.1.20
PHP is PHP/4.3.9

Multiple entries on this forum suggest that there is a problem with the SMTP configuration in the PHP.ini file, but I could not find and entry that tells me what it should be. This is all that is in my PHP.ini file regarding SMTP:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

I then attempted the patch suggested in "Fixes to allow using ssl/tls enabled mailservers (gmail.com)"
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=304&t=268623

I replace all the files provided, but my joomla administrator control pannel lost its templates and the site went down, so I reverted back.--I may have done this too quickly... I should have cleared the cached mysql queries and local cache first... I'm ready to give it another shot... but would like to kwow what my php.ini file should look like first.

Can anyone suggest how to update the PHP.ini file so that the SSL / SMTP patch will work?

[bignellrp]

Me too, i've now upgraded to 1.0.15 installed the patch and tried the testmailer, but get errors similar to those above saying:

Warning: include(libraries/phpmailer/phpmailer.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/joomla/testmailer.php on line 6

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'libraries/phpmailer/phpmailer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in /usr/local/www/joomla/testmailer.php on line 6

Warning: include(libraries/phpmailer/smtp.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/joomla/testmailer.php on line 7

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'libraries/phpmailer/smtp.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in /usr/local/www/joomla/testmailer.php on line 7

Fatal error: Class 'JConfig' not found in /usr/local/www/joomla/testmailer.php on line 8


Will it matter that my gmail address is @googlemail.com . I guess at this stage it wont, as the errors look like they cant find files that the patch may have changed. Maybe like the post above suggests it could be my php.ini. Where do i find the file php.ini?

[Madhumal]

Hi all...

I've tried to get the patch working, but soon as I've unpacked it into the Joomal directory, it gives this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JFactory::getdate() in C:\wamp\www\Copy of SCIFlex\components\com_content\models\frontpage.php on line 178

Any ideas on whats causing this?

Thanks!

[mitigated]

Beautiful! Worked great for 1.0.15, had to recompile php --with-openssl

[baijianpeng]

I just wonder why Joomla! 1.5.5 still has no built-in suport for SSL SMTP such as Gmail server?

We should not use patch any more, this feature need to be inside Joomla! Core !

[llucop]

Hi everyone,

Has anybody succesfully implemented this hack on joomla 1.5.5? I've made all necessary changes but don't get the expected results. In fact I don't get anything at all no message to recipient, no copy to sender; upon submitting a contacts' message from the form, it does some proccesing (presumably, at least the progress bar fills up for a couple of seconds) and then back to a blank form. No messages though...

Perhaps I'm leaving something behind, Now that I think of firewall blocking 465 port?

Cheers, Lluco.
