There's a "use SSL" checkbox and an "SMTP port" option on the Mail Alert Setup page. However, if I enable SSL and specify port 465 the "Send a test email" function produces no output.

Curiously, when I attempted this a few days ago, the syslog contained an error code 5. I just tried this again now and the syslog simply contains "[WEB]Send test mail" but still no mail is received.

If I revert to not using SSL (and revert the port) then the test mail is received successfully.

Apparently it DOES work... I just asked a support person whose colleague did a test...

This is what he said:

> SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
> SMTP Port: 465
> Mail To: testemail@example.com
> Return-Path: exampleemail@gmail.com
> Use SSL ticked
> Authentication ticked
> Username: exampleemail@gmail.com
> Password: account password

> Once  that was saved, I pressed the Send a test e-mail button and this
> test email showed up in my test email account within a minute.
