usando Gmail como server de emails no moodle

Email settings

Location: Administration > Server > Email

SMTP hosts: smtp.gmail.com:465 NOTE: Leave out the port (:465) in 1.9.2 or lower

SMTP username: Your email address @gmail.com or your own domain if using Google Apps

SMTP password: password for the above email account

Code Modification

In your Moodle site go to /lib/phpmailer/ and modify the following file:

class.smtp.php

Around line 83 DIRECTLY after the Connect function header, insert this line immediately after the "{" :

$host = 'ssl://' . $host;

Code Modification (1.9.2 or lower)

These two additional modifications need to be made in 1.9.2 or lower as the SMTP hosts setting above will not allow the port to be included.

class.phpmailer.php

around line 162

• Change var $Port = 25; to var $Port = 465;

class.smtp.php

around line 30

• Change var $SMTP_PORT = 25; to var $SMTP_PORT = 465;

Tips and tricks

• Some sites may need the additional step of un-commenting the php_openssl.dll extension in php.ini.
