Encryption:

​

and here is my Error Log: (I REDACTED any Information that I don't want sharing which is mainly my Domain and Email)

This would imply that your server itself had problems opening the connection. There seems to be an implication that this is DNS related (specifically DNS failing to resolve).

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

how does one fix it, since im hosting the Website off my own computer for the time being

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

it also just said No connection has been established to smtp.gmail.com - library\Zend\Mail\Protocol\Abstract.php:319

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

ahh ok so how do I add Gmail's SMTP Server to my Domains DNS Records

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

here are whats on the MX Records on my Domains DNS
alt1.aspmx.l.google.com

alt2.aspmx.l.google.com

aspmx.l.google.com

aspmx2.googlemail.com

aspmx3.googlemail.com

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

which im pretty sure is for Google Apps maybe, but I don't want to pay for Google Apps Mail system, so I wonder what the mx records are for smtp.gmail.com

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

ok so I did a MX Lookup for gmail, and added these to my MX Records on my Domains DNS:

gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (Weight: 5)
alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (Weight: 10)
alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (Weight: 20)
alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (Weight: 30)
alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com (Weight: 40)

so we will see if that fixed the problem

These are network level issues with your server itself, not the DNS for your domain (or Gmail's). You'll need to contact your host to see if they can resolve it; there's nothing that can be done within XenForo.

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

well I don't have a host, im using my Own Computer, unless you mean my ISP

 

[Mike]

Well this may relate to your network stack or firewall settings then.

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

ok, how do I add smtp.gmail.com to my Windows Firewall, or my Modems Firewall

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

hmm, when doing a Telnet test, the connection works

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

ok now I tried changing the settings to:

smtp.googlemail.com 25
my Gmail user and password
TLS

and im getting this error:

ErrorException: Email to REDACTED@gmail.com failed: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed - library\Zend\Mail\Protocol\Smtp.php:206

I never could get 465 to work. I think I had to use (when I did it) port 587.

 

[xH3LLRAIZ3Rx]

ok i fixed it by changing the WAMP Stack from XAMPP to something else
