GMAIL SMTP Server is not working was created by PapadatosP
Hello again,

trying to setup gmail as SMTP .. I have used it in another web program until now, and works fine ... (i told this to be sure that i have already turn off less secure app access in Gmail Security Check up)..

The problem is that in Lime Survey the notification eMails to Admin does not work also with other methods PHP and SENDMAIL

So i'm trying to find what is the error message..
Is there any log file to watch about interesting information of the error ?

Thanks in advance
Panos

Usually the problem with Gmail and Limesurvey is the less secure app access, but you have ruled this out already.

What is strange is that PHP and SENDMAIL also do not work. Where is your Limesurvey installation hosted? Sometimes it is the host that prevents apps from sending emails from their servers (to avoid to be marked as spammer).

Is there any log file to watch about interesting information of the error ?


There is a log for emails, but it only shows the complete information when sending token emails.

See here: www.limesurvey.org/forum/installation-a-...ogging-smtp-problems

See smtp debug mode.
