SSL not allowed?

[smartflight]

I have a SMF forum, and as for a few months ago, GMail SMTP worked at port 465.
Today, when I tried to announce the topic (I have mail queue, so you guys don't worry about me overloading the server or something..it's a very very small forum anyway!).

Has your firewall blocked that port or something?
It didn't work with port 587 either.
It says that the connection is timed out.

I'm not sure about all the servers, but I send mail through Gmail's SMTP (SSL) server on Chopin and it works perfectly. Make sure you are configuring it correctly: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287 using ssl://smtp.gmail.com as the host.

I verified the settings already.

Could it be that GMail has disabled auto generated email by some method for my account? (Sounds purely fictional to me, but anything can happen in this world- well, almost)

Edit: I'm on Chopin too.

I have attached a picture displaying the two errors I get.

I have no idea whose fault it could be- SMF, x10hosting, or GMail.
x0hosting doesn't seem like it, though, since it's working for you.

I too have exactly the same problem on my Wordpress sysytem. It used to work, but after they moved to the new datacenter, no longer.

I'm on Boru.

Now there's a catch then. I doubt it is x10hosting then.

I hope some Admin reads this up and fixes it. At least, inform us if it's okay so we can contact GMail/SMF (or Wordpress)
Maybe someone here would like to bring this to notice for the Admin?

PS: The last time it worked for me is 7 days ago.

Hmm that's strange. I just had my Wordpress SMTP plugin send a test email to myself and it doesn't seem to work anymore.

It did work for me after the migration as I was able to receive emails through my site's contact form on April 6.

My error log shows nothing though.

I know this feature requires fsockopen to be enabled and it previously was. I don't know if it still is.

So that would mean someone has to contact the Admin? =/
