Zend Mail Gmail SMTP

Question

Hi I'm trying to send some emails via gmail from the Zend_Mail module. This is my code:

$config = array(
    'ssl' => 'tls',
    'port' => 587,
    'auth' => 'login',
    'username' => '[email protected]',
    'password' => 'password'
);
$smtpConnection = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('smtp.gmail.com', $config);

Error:

Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto() [streams.crypto]: this stream does not support SSL/crypto in /library/Zend/Mail/Protocol/Smtp.php on line 206 Unable to connect via TLS

I tried telling my hosting provider to enable the openssl.dll in phi.ini

But they say that isn't necessary since the server is in Linux and it doesn't need to enable the openssl.dll to work with TLS or SSL.

Is my hosting provider wrong or I'm I doing something wrong in my code.

Thanks in advance

Fabian

Answer 1

Try setting ssl:// as prefix for the hostname and use 465 as port.

Answer 2

openssl.dll is the windows openssl extension.

On Linux you need to compile PHP with OpenSSL support. http://www.php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php

You need OpenSSL for PHP sockets and stream functions to use TLS. Zend uses these functions and thus require the same.

It's very comfortably to use Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport method: http://snowcore.net/zend%5Fmail-%d0%be%d1%82%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b2%d0%bb%d1%8f%d0%b5%d0%bc-%d0%bf%d0%be%d1%87%d1%82%d1%83-%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b7-gmail
