DescentBB

How did you guys get phpBB to send it's mail through gmail?

I've been trying to do that with my servers, but gmail uses TLS; and phpbb, as far as I can tell, does not support sending email using encryption.

You will have to ask Koolbear about that but I think if you look closer at the header info you might be able to figure that out on your own. If I'm not mistaken the DBB is only using the gmail address as the return address.

Geez, idk why I didn't think of that. Brain fart I guess....

Anyway, it does look like the gmail is just a return address and the emails are actually sent from:

mail.vonclan.net

Oh well, I guess I'll have to figure out another way....

phpBB doesn't actually have the mail engine embedded, IIRC. It's reliant on whatever PHP supports. Check the PHP docs at php.net, you might be able to hack TLS support in yourself if it's merely not present in the phpBB setup options.
