Hi,

I'm trying to get the SMTP component to talk to GMail but without success.

I'm using Port 465 and server smtp.gmail.com

Username and password are set to gmail email address and password is the gmail password.

Ok, I figured out the issue:

The config for gmail states that port 465 should be used. This is actually the TLS port, however, the SMTP connection should still go to port 25. Just make sure that if you are using an email scanner that either (a) it supports TLS or (b) you disable it.

Therefore, for gmail support you need:

Username: <gmail email address>

Password: <gmail password>

Server: smtp.gmail.com

Port: 25

Auth Type: Auth Login

That's correct.
Most mailservers are using port 25. It's up to SMTP component, when authenticated, to open session over secure transmission channel on a different port (normally, 465 for TLS)
