SMTP thru Zimbra Port 465 SSL Freezes

[gdurniak]

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?

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.

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.
