TLS using Gmail to test SMTP

[john...@googlemail.com]

Hi

First off I would like to say hello to everyone on the list I am a web
developer living in the UK. I have not been using Helma for very long
but so far I like it very much.

My question is does anyone know an easier way to use TLS so I can use
my gmail account for testing SMTP? I managed to solve this in the end
by doing the following.

Within the helma.Mail.js module I placed this line of code within the
Properties block

props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable",getProperty("tls")||"false")

then within the server.properties file I added this line

tls=true

This seems to work fine but I am not happy with altering the
helma.Mail.js module is there another way I can insert properties I
tried doing this within my mail instance but did not get very far.
Sorry if I missed an obvious way due to my lack of experience with
Helma.

Thanks

Johnti

Anyone? I'm also interested in using this function, can John submit a
patch to hemla.Mail? Thanks.

Hi,

Yes it would be good to have this included in Mail,js.
I actually did exactly this myself some months back when I was testing
an app with smtp via a gmail account, but never got around to
submitting a patch, so I've attached my patch in case it helps anyone
else in the future (its a little bit more involved but basically does
exactly the same thing as Johnti did).

Maks.

I committed the TLS support feature, renaming the property "smtp.tls"
to be more in line with other mail related properties.
