PHPList - can PHPMailer be substituted with Swift Mailer
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 8:11 am
Hi all,
My first post so please be gentle, am not a programmer either but have implemented PHPList on my first shared web host. I had things working until I wanted to use my gmail smtp server.
I have checked that I'm using the correct credentials, smtp settings, can connect fine in Outlook but with PHPList 2.10.8 and PHPMailer 2.3 for PHP5 I continually get an smtp connection timeout error. I tried using a web site with a test tool to see what response gmail's smtp gave and it reports "Must issue a STARTTLS". I know that I have SMTPAuth set to use "tls" in class.phplistmailer.php.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and whether the answer was to use Swift Mailer instead?
Any help if very much appreciated as I've been trying to figure out what is going wrong for days now
Kind regards
J
