CodeIgniter and Gmail SMTP Timeout with SSL scoket_问答_开发者

I use Gmail SMTP to send email from the web application that I wrote using CodeIgniter with PHP 5.3 without a problems until recently. This is the snippet of my code:

  $config['protocol']   = 'smtp';
  $config['smtp_host']  = $this->smtp_host;
  $config['smtp_port']  = $this->smtp_port;
  $config['smtp_user']  = $this->smtp_username;
  $config['smtp_pass']  = $this->smtp_password;
  $config['mailtype']   = $this->email_type;
  $config['newline'] = "\r\n";
  $this->load->library('email', $config);

  $this->email->from($email_sender, $email_sender_name);
  $this->email->to($email_to);
  $this->email->subject($message_subject);
  $this->email->message($message_content);
  $result = $this->email->send();

When I use "ssl://smtp.gmail.com" as host and 465 as port, I got this error in log:

I don't know if this related, but before I upgrade my PHP into PHP 5.3, the same code worked just fine. If this is the firewall or internet connection problems, I can still send email using gmail smtp in Thunderbird.

After I looking in various forums, I got a tips to do this test:

while using same tool to test ssl connection give me timeout:

$ openssl s_client -ssl2 -crlf -connect smtp.gmail.com:465
connect: Connection timed out
connect:errno=110

I try to use "tls://smtp.gmail.com" as host and 587 as port in my code above, but now I get this error message:

Can you help me find out what the cause of connection time out when I'm try to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465
Second, can I use tls in PHP 5.3? If yes, can you show me the code, so I can put it into CodeIgniter and test it.

Thanks.

If you've come to this page from Google.com looking for more details on Secure SMTP email, check out this patch at the CI Forums.

http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/158882/

My SMTP provider (Exchange system) doesn’t accept SSL connections and requires the use of SMTP over TLS instead (STARTTLS, RFC 3207). Here is a small patch to the Email class which adds support for it. It is written against 1.7.2. If this is useful to others, you’re most welcome to incorporate it in a future release.

Usage: Specify server settings as a regular SMTP server (tcp://servername, typically port 25 or 587). Enable new setting in config ($config[‘starttls’] = TRUE;)

Depends on TLS being available (i.e., listed in the ‘Registered Stream Socket Transports’ section of phpinfo()).

According to the PHP docu SSL and TLS were both added in version 4.3.

http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.fsockopen.php

So, they should work in general.

I found this one and it worked for me:

Maybe you could try that script too.
