Hello all-

First off:

Mac 10.6
Lasso 8.6

Email_send tag:
Email_Send(
-host='smtp.gmail.com',
-port=587,
-ssl=true,
-to=(var:'email'),
-From='xxxxx',
-subject=(var:'subject'),
-body=(var:'body'),
-username='xxxxx',
-password='xxxxx',
);



I have a client that recently switched from using our email servers to using gmail for outgoing emails from the system.

I switched all the host parameters where we had an email_send tag and all looked good.
Now, twice in as many weeks, emails from the system have not gotten out, with the following error:

Message: SMTP: [172] Failed to connect to host "smtp.gmail.com".

The first time I was unaware of the problem so I don't know how it resolved itself (It happened over about a 12 hour period). This last time it seems a server restart (Not just Lasso although I didn't try this so it may have also fixed the issue) "may" have fixed the issue (I was doing several things so I'm not 100% sure it was the restart but think so). Now it seems all "current" emails are going out (not the ones stuck in the queue from before).

I was wondering if this is the "DNS Deafness" issue. If this is the issue I was thinking that the error would not have the Domain Name in it, unless it grabbed it from the "-Host" parameter in the Email_send tag.

Since all the emails are going through the smtp.gmail.com server, I cannot tell if this problem is isolated to gmail, perhaps being too busy at the time.

All the messages have remained in the queue until I recently "Tried All Queued" messages from Lasso Admin.

Now I see the following error:

Message: SMTP: [220] Host "smtp.gmail.com" terminated connection. [Email_SMTP] Server Error: 421 4.7.0 Try again later, closing connection. (MAIL) s46sm702943yhm.39

I suspect this may be a problem where all the queued messages (80) were sent at once and gmail refused them because they reached gmail's "threshold" of simultaneous connections from one email server?

One last thing-
I just went back to check the queue one last time before sending this message and the queue is empty!

thanks for any help you can offer :-)
