Gmail SMTP using SSL/TLS

[eluser]sophistry[/eluser]
my ISP just blocked port 25 outgoing so i had to figure out how to get around it.

i just implemented this google smtp set up and it is working great - even using google apps with my own domain.

i had one problem that is worth mentioning... i forgot to add the crucial line:

Code:

$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

and it resulted in an 500 "Internal Server Error" page and php_wrapper.cgi message in the php error log. so i ended up going on a wild goose chase. eventually, i realized that i had left out the set_newline() call.

moral of the story: make sure you set_newline() as described by the OP.
