I've been battling WPMU (1.3.3 french) for a few days now, trying to get email working. I want to use gmail to handle it, but as yet, no success.
The current state of affairs:
1) Email didn't work. I tried the following:
* modifying pluggable.php and class-phpmailer.php to work with SMTP (didn't work, changed it back to original settings)
* installing wp-phpmailer (didn't work, deleted it)
* installing swift-smtp in plugins (doesn't work).
2) I get the following error with swift-smtp:
The mailer failed to connect. Errors:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[num] => 0
[time] => 0.08035200 1203844712
[message] => Connection to the given MTA failed. The Connection Interface said: Connection timed out
)
)
I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious; however, after reading every single forum post on smtp that I could find, I still have no idea what that might be.
Suggestions, anyone? If I need to provide more information, just let me know what's missing.
