Problem using Gamil as outgoing smtp server. 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
I've created a special mail account at Gmail for testing purpose and i have no problem receiving mail from it.

But I can't use Gmail as outgoing account?

I'm not sure you can use Gmail as your SMTP server.
I know they will let you access your inbox via POP3 and IMAP but I don't think you can use them as an SMTP server.

You may want to consider AuthSmtp.com. I'm not sure a free SMTP server exists if you don't have your own because people will just use it for spamming.

This is the instructions from Gmail for setting up your mailclient..


Standard instructions:

Enable POP in Gmail. Don't forget to click Save Changes when you're done.
Configure your client to match the settings below:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Email Address: your email address (username@gmail.com or username@your_domain.com)
Password: your Gmail password
Unless you're using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you've opted not to leave messages on the server. Your Gmail settings determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client won't affect how Gmail handles your mail.

Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

You're now ready to use POP with your Gmail address.


I thinks it might be the special portnumbers for the outgoing SMTP server or the verification that is the problem.

But I can't see anything in the z-command logs.

Is it possible to log some debug information or something else?

It's because gmail SMTP uses SSL and Z-Command does not, for outgoing mail.
You will have to use another SMTP server that does not force you to use SSL.

Hmm I've been trying to use another mailserver for outgoing. But I think that z-command are using the servername from the email account for outgoing server to?

No. Z-Command uses the server specified in the SMTP Server field.

Hi Per.

Maybe you can make some kind of mail relay on your Z-Command machine?

Set up a mail server who takes mail from Z-Command and send it the way Google like.
