In some countries, for security reasons, SMTP port 25 is blocked by some Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Some users would like to send and receive e-mails using the services of Google mail (Gmail.com) or any other e-mail service such as Yahoo or Hotmail, either for fun or because they do not own a DNS domain name, although a DNS domain name also allows for this possibility. For the purposes of this recipe, we will use Gmail as the SMTP server.
The Email | Remote SMTP menu is for setting up the remote SMTP. Here, we will fill in the following parameters:
Enter the SMTP Server: Gmail (This is the default host to which we will send the e-mails. This option automatically configures the parameters we will use).
Add the Domain:
smtp.gmail.com.Set the Port:
587.Enter the Username: The Gmail account we will use. We must first get a Google account from https://gmail.com.
