Events Notification Plugin

[lcanessa]

I am trying to set up the Events Notification plugin to be able to send emails from my GMail account. This is the Google documentation on the necessary settings needed to send email via SMTP.

In the Events Notification plugin, I have the SMTP host as smtp.gmail.com. The check box to use authentication has been selected and the username / password are filled in.

When I try and send a test email, I get the following error:

Operation has failed. Must issue a STARTTLS command first.

If I try and change the host to, https://smtp.gmail.com:587 or https://smtp.gmail.com:465 I get the following error:

socket error # 11004

Is there anyway I can configure this correctly?

I'm sorry, but this plugin does not support SMTP servers with secure logins.

Is this scheduled to be changed?

We've added it to our To-Do list, but I can't say when it will be implemented.

In the meantime, I believe use of E-MailRelay would be an acceptable workaround.

We've added the requested functionality in the latest version of this plugin.
