E-Mail of (SSL) SMTP

[retched]

I have a question. I saw this in another thread and wanted to know is there a way to use SMTP over SSL? Or is simply using the port 587 enough?

Code: Select all

[mail]
delivery_method = smtp
smtp_host=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_username=john.doe@gmail.com
smtp_password=mypass

If you are using Linux or have a local SMTP server setup that automatically handles mail, you could try using this instead:

Code: Select all

[mail]
delivery_method = mail

[shaunw]

It should work is you specify the settings like this:

Code: Select all

smtp_host="ssl://mail.example.com";
smtp_port=465
