Email Notification

[cctv_survivor 0]

I'm trying to setup email notification (send a jpeg image) to my gmail account. So in the SMTP server settings I typed "smtp.gmail.com". When I test it, it can never connect to the SMTP server.

 

Do I need to be using this SMTP server or the one from my ISP?

 

Thanks

try this:

 

In your email client software, under Outgoing mail, set the SMTP server to smtp.google.com.

 

Set the your username is yourgooglemailname@gmail.com and make sure “Use username and passwordâ€

I currently don't use an email software client (I have outlook incase I need it). I use gmail exclusively and it is web based so no email client is required with gmail.

 

Are you saying that I need to setup an email client to get this to work? Will all my gmail email go into this email client to be read now? I would prefer to still use gmail web based to read my email.

 

Thanks!

Use your ISP outgoing mail server for those settings.

Download and setup a local SMTP server and then as smtp server put the 127.0.0.1 (your local machine).

This would be very easy!

Unless you know how to administer an SMTP Server, please do not install one. The world has enough spam, setting up another open relay is annoying.
