Sending emails with TLS encryption

[David_LasVegas]

Hi,

I am trying to configure the plug in to send emails through an Gmail powered account that has SMTP TLS encryption.

When I try to send it I get the following error message:

..... Must issue a STARTTLS command first .....

Is this something that can be done with the plug-in?

Any alternatives or suggestions to work around this issue?

Thanks

David

You will need to use SSL when connecting to the server. Make sure to pass the "ssl=1" flag parameter when you are making your connection. You may also need to specify port 587 or 465 in the address,

ex:

EmailConnectSMTP("pop.gmail.com:587"; "myUN"; "myPW"; "ssl=1")

or

EmailConnectSMTP("pop.gmail.com:465"; "myUN"; "myPW"; "ssl=1")

/For admin - sorry i should have posted this as a new enquiry, - so i have/

Hi, i've been trying to send an 'email with authentication' using the free version of SM360.

I was using SMPTit_pro from CNS which did the trick, however this solutions seems to look alot easier.

Well, initially it did, - i keep getting the error:

com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. v51sm1449027eeh.10

Where do i put the SSL and authentication type?.

And how do I execute the above commmand,

EmailConnectSMTP("pop.gmail.com:587"; "myUN"; "myPW"; "ssl=1")

Where do i put it, - in my external functions list there is no 'emailConnectSMTP' function.

I am simply testing the downloaded free version, by entering the required info into the 'Input variables (parameters) and pressing 'run script'.

The main plugin is installed correctly as i have tested about 5 other Modules within the file.

Hope someone can assist

Many thanks

Laurence

I made a mistake in my earlier post. You must use port 465 to connect to gmail using SSL

Set Variable - $connect ; EmailConnectSMTP("pop.gmail.com:465"; "myUN"; "myPW"; "ssl=1") 

You want to put this function in a set variable script step so that the result is easy to check. in an IF statement after the set variable step.

If the EmailConnectSMTP function is not in your external function list then it means that the plugin is either not installed or not enabled. Check and make sure that is is showing in the FileMaker-> preferences -> plugins tab.
