Hi all,

I am trying to setup hesk so to be able to send emails using the Google apps however I am constantly getting the following error when I click "Test SMTP connection":

Error: Could not connect to the host "smtp.gmail.com": Connection refused

I have written the following data in the e-mail details fields:

Email Sending
Send emails using: [?] PHP mail() | SMTP Server
SMTP Host: [?] smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: [?] 587
SMTP Timeout: [?] 20
SSL Protocol: [?] OFF
TLS Protocol: [?] ON
SMTP Username: [?] info@mydomain.com
SMTP Password: [?] mypassword

Could anyone help me out please?

Your details are correct.

The error means the connection is being blocked by firewall. Ask your host to open port 587 in the firewall.

Thanks for the confirmation. Do you know if Godaddy blocks that specific port by any chance?

Thanks

I don't know for GoDaddy, but the practice is to block all ports by default and allow just the ones you use.
