SMPT ports and exit 5...

[Staehling]

Tried to send but I got exit code 5.
Pretty sure it's because my ISP blocks smtp port 25.
Would like to try 465 or 587, but can the smtp port be changed?
I assume it's compiled into gsmtp.jar

thanks!

Hello!

Sorry you're having trouble with the plugin. I've got the SMTP traffic
configured to use port 465 for smtp.gmail.com with SSL. Some firewalls
and ISPs have this port blocked as well...

You could try to run this on your command line and see if you get the
initial response from the Gmail server.

telnet smtp.gmail.com 465

If you don't get a response like "Connected to
gmail-smtp.l.google.com." then we know that something is blocking you
on that port. Unfortunately, the SMTP port is not user-configurable at
the moment... and if I recall correctly I couldn't get the alternate
587 port working with JavaMail.

In any case, let me know how this simple test goes and maybe we can
figure something out.
Regards,
JI

Works now....weird. Gave me the exit 5 last time, will update after
trying more this week.
PS Thanks for this software, it's a must-have!
