Hi Jon,

You could try to telnet to the SMTP server:

From a command prompt (in Windows or Linux):

1	telnet smtp.gmail.com 587

If you see something like

1	220 mx.google.com ESMTP fo2sm32590wbb.48

You are connected.

If you get a failure message it is likely that a firewall is blocking you.

(Since Windows Vista telnet is not installed by default. See:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Telnet-frequently-asked-questions
for more information.)

Hi,

I followed you instructions but cannot get the mail function working.
– Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587

I am doing it behind a proxy. I am not sure if this causes the problem.
Is there any configuration for proxy?

Thanks,

Hi Ed,

You set the ‘from’ address when you send the email. For example PHP’s mail() function allows you to pass the ‘from’ address.

You should also check ‘/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf’:

# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES – Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO – Use the system generated From: address
FromLineOverride=YES

[...] wise it looks like using either of the _once functions is faster. Include beats out require. So if you are looking to squeeze out every little bit of performance [...]

is anyone still using mail()?

hehe

zend mail rules ….. probably there are other libs but zf does all i need including php-level smtp delivery so local smtp is not even needed

how cool is that?!
