Gmail SMTP using SSL/TLS

[eluser]onblur[/eluser]
Thanks for this post. Working great.

I found that all I needed to do was to put the settings into the email.php config file (system/config/email.php), and use $this->email->set_newline("\r\n").

Code:

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = '[email protected]';
$config['smtp_pass'] = '123xyz';
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
