Gmail for SMTP server

[YogaShop]

I am trying to use Gmail for SMTP server I receive and error.

The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. j34sm11922467waf.48


Please let me know where is the code page for SMTP setup so I can modify.

I would like to see this added as well. Here is my thread for the request:

I have checked the Admin/Store/EmailTemplates/SmtpSettingsDialog.ascx user control file. I think in order to use gmail we must have to tell that SSL is enabled. But i haven't found any setting for this purpose in SmtpSettings and EmailClient. I have made some searches and find that ASP.NET 2.0 uses System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient for sending Emails and also support a property for Enabling SSL. If any one of you people have the CommerceBuilder API source code then you should check CommerceBuilder.Messaging.EmailClient class Send method. And if it is using some object of type System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient then try to Enable the SSL for that object. For example if there is an object of type System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
having name smtpc then just do the following just above the smtpc.Send
statement

Code: Select all

smtpc.EnableSsl = true;

If any one will try this please let me know weather it worked or not.

Well I can confirm we are using the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient class. Tell you what, here's an approximation of the code that sends the messages. Someone who has Gmail / SMTP and wants this feature, tell me what you have to do to the code to make it work (i.e. try mazhar's suggestion). I will create an enhancment request in bugzilla with the info.

Code: Select all

        public static void Send(System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mailMessage, CommerceBuilder.Messaging.SmtpSettings smtpSettings)
        {
            SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(smtpSettings.Server, smtpSettings.Port);
            if (smtpSettings.RequiresAuthentication)
            {
                smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(smtpSettings.UserName, smtpSettings.Password);
            }
            //SEND THE MAIL MESSAGE
            smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
        }

You should be able to create a dummy test file that uses the code above and sends a message to your server. Then see whether enabling SSL is all that is required to make it send through Gmail. If so, we could add another option on the SMTP settings configuration.

Logan, Thanks for confirmation

I have created a dummy test file and its working for my local store.

On the Configure -> Email -> Settings dialog adjust the settings as bellow

Code: Select all

Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port   : 587
Requires Authentication: true
User Name: Your valid GMail account Id
Password  : Your GMail account password

Now i have attached a sample user control for sending a test Email. Just place it in the ConbLib and Use it in some scriptlet on store side like on the Home Page content scriptlet

Code: Select all

[[ConLib:EmailTest]]

Provide some Email ID to which you want to send the test email in the Send To text box and click the Send button

This one has been fixed already and will be part of 7.2.
