Hi all,

Thanks for all your effort developping this free software.

I'm testing this forum to possibly using it for interfacing mailing list of an association in which I involve. But I still have problem with mail settings. I'm not at ease with mail server, sysadmin and so on...

If I've well understood, FudForum already contains a built-in email client what would permit to send emails easily. I have "Use SMTP To Send E-mail" switched on ("Yes" answer) for I can authenticate my account on Gmail.

In order to identify my gmail account, I put following settings:
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Server Port: 587
SMTP Server Login: mylogin(at)gmail(dot)com
SMTP Server Login: mypassword
Administrator E-mail: mylogin(at)gmail(dot)com
Notify E-mail: mylogin(at)gmail(dot)com


But, while the forum is expecting to send an e-mail, nothing is received into my gmail account.

For exemple, with a new registered user, when I click on this link [1] for sending a new mail with account confirmation, in my web browser, I get this type of error message :
OC: Invalid SMTP return code: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. 28sm340824eye.36

How correct configuration for mail can effectively be sended by gmail ?

Other thing if gmail can't be used, I've installed a POSTFIX mta on my computer, but in this case, what are the kind of settings to set as in previous SMTP settings ?

For information :
FUDforum: 2.8.1
PHP: 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.1
Database: mysql
DB version: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2

Thanks a lot for your help.

Raph.
