I am trying to smtp thru Zimbra, which seems to require port 465, and SSL

with the email plugin, or with Scriptmaster, it just freezes

( I can send thru Outlook Express, so the port is open )

server: smtp.01.com:465

has anyone tried it?

PS sorry if this is a duplicate post

It sounds like it may be timing out when trying to connect, rather than an actual freeze of your system (though you can't do anything while the script/function is running). This can be caused by a firewall blocking your connection or your connection/port information being incorrect. Make sure you have specified "ssl=1" as one of your flag parameters in the emailconnectSMTP function.

The function should time out after a minute or two, and you should have an error message you can check with EmailLastError or by looking in your email plugin logs.

Windows

Vista: DriveLetter:\Users\<userName>\Documents\360Plugin Logs\

I was using the Email Plugin Example file, and did not see an ssl=1 option available

the strange thing is that it did freeze up for more than a few minutes ( the logs had no error message )

I did get it to work thru Scriptmaster, so I will use that instead

thanks

There isn't a checkbox for the ssl=1 option in our example file, though I think that there is one in the example client file. You need to add "ssl=1" as a flag parameter when you are calling the emailconnectsmtp function in your calculations.
