I run my business email through Google Mail, using my own domain (i.e. my email address is '[email protected]'). I've recently set up a support forum on my website which needs to send emails from the site admin via a PHP script. However, none of the settings I've tried seem to work. I thought these would work but they don't:
SMTP server: smtp.mydomain.com
SMTP username: [email protected]
Password: test123
I've also tried setting up a different email account on my domain on the server and using the server IP and settings for this different account but I can't get this working either.
Can anyone suggest how to get this working? Do I need to use Google's own SMTP settings as opposed to those for my domain?
I don't know much about this so apologies if it's a dumb question - I've tried searching but can only find examples where people are actually using GMail as their email account rather than their own domain.
Thanks
This turned out to be an issue with WHMCS, which they have apparently since resolved (although it was a show-stopper for me at the time so I wasn't able to see the resolution through).
