Hello,

I am having issue with sending of emails from jorani using gmail. I am using AWS EC2 server.

The testmail page shows the following.

Ii added the 

$config['_smtp_auth'] = TRUE;

in the email.php file on my server.

But It is not in the source code files in 

https://github.com/bbalet/jorani/blob/master/application/config/email.php

After adding the code, the mail was sent. 

Maybe it could be added in the source code of the email.php file like 

$config['_smtp_auth'] = FALSE; //Change this to true if using Gmail

Really appreciate the help.

Thank you.

Hi,

GMail is not used by most of users who are relying on an internal server or on their ISP.

It was included into the code in the past, but it is confusing to many users.

I had so many questions related to that, so I decided to remove it.
