I’ve followed the tutorial here : https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/
I’ve tried using port 465 however I had an error so as I use tls I have changed the port to 587, I think 587 is for tls?
I’m getting the following error:
Failed to send AUTH LOGIN command. Error: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. a7sm12831008wra.43 - gsmtp
I’m trying to send email from Expressionengine, I have the following email settings:
$config['email_newline'] = "\r\n";
$config['email_crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['smtp_crypto'] = 'tls';

I would assume that you can connect on port 25 as well. It seems that nothing is wrong with the connection itself.
Another thing to add is to enable IMAP from your Gmail account. Login to Gmail and click the gear icon on your top right side of the page, then click Settings --> Forwarding and POP/IMAP --> IMAP access --> Click Enable --> Save Changes
May I ask what was the exact error on port 465? Make sure this port is open for Outbound TCP as well.
Hey, @ecell100
On port 587 you need to use STARTTLS. You can first check if you can connect on this port by using telnet:
telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
Let me know what’s the output of this command.
