I'd like to use Gmail as my main forum email but it's not working correctly. It will send with mail type as PHP but not SMTP. The email gives a phishing error when sent via PHP.
Here are the steps I took so far:
- Installed your mod
- Allowed less secure apps
- Server Settings->General - Updated email address to my gmail
- Maintenance->Mail->Settings
--- Changed mail type to SMTP
--- SMTP server = smtp.gmail.com
--- SMTP port = 465
--- SMTP username and password match my gmail account
What do you suggest?
EDIT
I think I got it. I changed the SMTP to ssl://smtp.gmail.com (per another thread) and found that google sent a blocked access email so I allowed my IP. I received an email without the error.
