Postby x86anonymous on Mon Aug 07, 2006 5:59 pm

I'm trying to configure phpbb2 smtp for a gmail account, but gmail use a different authentication system that implicate some modifications on the forum code.
I tried to use some mods, but all of them didn't worked.

I've the same problem but I think that there is no solution.

I found the answer for my problem on http://www.gmailforums.com/index.php?showtopic=11693

GMAIlL uses SMTP over TLS (which is the newest version of SSL)
What this means is that your smtp connection is protected just
like viewing a web page over SSL - anyone sniffing it will get
squat. I don't know if PHPBB supports SMTP over TLS or not.
I kind of doubt it - this is not a real mainstream thing.
