How to make Google Apps for Your Domain work with WHMCS in 5 steps

[Gears]

When doing Step 3, did you enter in all the information? Even the Department Name, Description, and Email Address (the stuff above the POP3 Importing Configuration)?

!!! So stupid! I had the email address as admin@ not support@... Ugh! It works great. Thanks a lot!

Glad you have it working now

I implemented this a bit differently.

Instead of doing POP collection, i forward my Google apps account to an email account in a subdomain and do pipe import into whcms.

This give me a more instant ticket import.

I am to lazy to modify code.

WHMCS's PHP mail classes are from http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/index.php?pg=sf&p=dl

I just upgrade my classes to V5 and added ssl:// to my smtp host and we are golden.

I dont know why WHMCS does not just upgrade their phpmailer class.

What does your customization do?

Hi Gears ,
Thank you for your great guide.
I only made changes to it to work with your guide. adding "tls://" part.
the phpmailer class which you have posted in your guide is very old and is v2.0rc3.
so I thought updating it will be helpful and more stable.
Regards

There isn't much point in this modification anymore. Whmcs V4 includes the necessary code for TLS.

Open class.phpmailer.php find "var $SMTPSecure" and set it to "tls"

WHMCS V4.0 still includes v2.3 of phpmailer which is old. phpmailer is version 5 now.
also by changing $SMTPSecure to tls , it wont work with non secure SMTP servers any more , so it is better to use "tls://" hack for compatibility with all SMTP servers.
I suggest WHMCS uses officially this hack in its package.

Well WHMCS basically copied my mod and pasted it in so yeh. They probably should update the class.

I cant seem to get my mail relay to work i have tryed putting tls in the phpclassmailer file ect.. and i checked the tick box and made sure it was on SMTP all i get everytime is this
"Email Sending Failed - SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host."

and yes i did change the mail type to SMTP its just set to PHP mailer atm

here is my stats


I had the same setup on my 3.8.1 with that one persons hack and it worked fine.

Thanks for any help

That indicates a firewall issue between your WHMCS server and the google servers.

Either that, or that certain google server is down (doubt it). You could try changing the priority order of your MX records.
