Email setup gmail
Hello. I run Moodle and my project uses the Gmail 'domains' service where we use Gmail as our email processor. IE: We have no email service on our server, we use Googles.
We run Moodle to train new developers/staff and so we needed the emails from the courses and Ask a Question type module.
I was able to get Gmail working under these conditions by doing the following:
In the Email section for smtp host I used: smtp.gmail.com My @theseventhsungame.net email (Which again we use Gmail domains..) The above email's password.
I then opened /lib/phpmailer/ and modified the following files:
class.phpmailer.php around line 162
I changed var$Port =25; to 465
class.phpmailer.smtp around line 30
I changed var $SMTP_PORT = 25; to 465
In the class.phpmailer.smtp file around line 83
DIRECTLY after the Fucntion header, so the next line after the { I added: $host='ssl://' . $host;
I am now sending mail using the GMAIL feature.

Hope that helps someone =)

PS an additional step you may or may not need to take is to Un-comment the php_openssl.dll extension in php.ini I did not have to do this.
