Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password: your Gmail password

May be you need to use Net::SMTP::TLS <http://search.cpan.org/~awestholm/Net-SMTP-TLS-0.12/> so you can do a STARTTLS. Ie start with a clear text protocol and then upgrade to a TLS encrypted protocol.

Hi Renée

I changed the script to the following (this is my small test script not the actual OTRS installation)


print "$@\n";
if (not $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new('smtp.gmail.com',
                                     Port => 465,
                                     Debug => 1)) {
print "$@\n";
   die "Could not connect to mail server\n";
}



The output is

root@XXXXXXXXXX ~ #./perl_test_email_gmail.pl

Net::SMTP::SSL: Bad service ''
Could not connect to mail server

Can you print the value of $@?


my $smtp;
if (not $smtp = Net::SMTP::SSL->new('smtp.gmail.com',
                                   Port => 465,
                                   Debug => 1)) {
 die "Could not connect to mail server -> $@\n";
}
