Hey All

We need to use smtp.google.com as our outgoing mail server as we are a Google Business Apps client.

We have tried ports 465,587 and 25, with SSL and STARTTLS on and off.

With it on and sending a testing email we get the following error:
SMTP Authentication failed
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException

With it off we get the message that we must enable STARTTLS.

If we use port 465, we get the following error:


Connection Failed
javax.mail.MessagingException: Exception reading response;
nested exception is:
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out


According to a Google support site answer see below:

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL:
smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465
Server timeouts Greater than 1 minute, we recommend 5

Is there a way to increase the timeout, or is there a way to set it up to simply work without configuring or playing with timeouts?

Thank you in advance
