Hi all!

I tried searching the forums with out much luck. I have my domain's email hosted through the new google hosted accounts. I am having some issues with Email being sent from the forum. I can't get Snitz to send an email for Validation purposes, nor for changing passwords, or sending to other users in the forum.

I am using CDOSYS.

1.What is the SMTP server for my hosted email through Google?? I tried mail.mydomain.com and that does not seem to work.

2. Is my code here correct on the inc_mail.asp file?

case "cdosys"
Set iConf = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields

'Set and update fields properties
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'cdoSendUsingPort
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strMailServer = "mail.mydomain.com"
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'cdoBasic
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "username"
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"
'Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = "465"
'SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.mydomain.com"
Flds.Update

Am I missing anything?

ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE!! THANKS!<

The outgoing server should be: smtp.gmail.com

I also have my emails hosted on google, but not sure if you will be able to get it to send email from your site. If you do get it work, would be interested to know.<

Thanks everyone. Please let me know if you receive any feedback. If I can get it to work I can create a detailed instruction checklist for users in the future.<

What do you usually use as a client for the gmail hosted mail?
Also wondering if you've got TLS or IPSEC or something going on, preventing connection?<

My site is hosted by Ipowerweb.com. All I did to move the email to Google is change the MX record for the domain to point to google's server instead of Ipowerweb's servers. No IPSec of TLS going on that I am aware of. If google does that behind the scenese, that is news to me.

The client that I use to check my email through the google host is provided via the Web by google.

https://www.google.com/a/mydomain.com/

I just noticed that the URL to access the email portal is https://

Do I need to add something for SSL?<

Yes, both Gmail's SMTP and POP uses secure connection. Thought you knew that (if you had setup any email client for pop access)?
TLS is used for the SMTP on port 587.

The info for their email server is here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287&topic=1556

I didn't get port 465 to work with my email client, so I used the next one, 587.<

I changed 465 to 587 in the code and that didn't help. Here is the code that I have now. Also note that I have the following Config inside the "Email Configuration" peice.

Select Email Component: CDOSYS (IIS 5/5.1/6)
Email Mode: ON
Email Server Address: smtp.gmail.com
Administrator email address: admin@mydomain.com
Required Unique email: ON
E-Mail Validation: ON
Restrict Registration: OFF
Requuired Login For sending mail: ON

CODE FOR THIS:

case "cdosys"
Set iConf = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields

'Set and update fields properties
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'cdoSendUsingPort
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strMailServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate") = 1 'cdoBasic
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "username@mydomain.com"
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = "587"
'SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.mydomain.com"
Flds.Update<

Yeah, I saw that field property, 'smtpusessl', but being clueless on CDO and having no way to test it, didn't know if that was the only thing needed to make it work.

Good job. Now let me see I can configure JMail to work with Google for Hosted Domains.
