    • SMTP Gmail settings?

    Posted by Enorazza posts: 15

    I am trying to configure email settings using my Gmail account.
    If I use the sendmail method, the emails arrive not authenticated and Google adds a "[SPAM}" prefix.
    I tried lots of combination for setting up the SMTP method

    Default character set for sending mail: UFT8
    Mail end of line: CRLF
    Mail sender: SMTP
    SMTP Server: smtp.google.com
    Authentication: PLAIN
    Username: (myemail)
    Password: (mypass)
    Port: 587
    Security: TLS
    Local server name: localhost
    Mail Delivery: Send immidiately

    If I try to send an email using the Message center, this is the error:
    "An error occurred, please check your mail settings and try again"

    I tried also with LOGIN authentication method and SSL instead of TLS (port according).
    It happens both in my local environment and on the server.
    Removed also the 2FA in my Google account just in case to be sure.

    I am using Tiki 15.4 (apache 2.4 php 5.6).

    Any idea?

    My site works with these settings, except:
    EOL LF
    SMTP Server smtp.gmail.com
    Local server name is the domain name.
