   I have successfully got SMTP mail working using the Swift SMTP plugin.

   However, I have setup a mailing list system using G-Lock Double Opt-in plugin, and although the direct send mailing works okay, it uses its own SMTP settings (i.e. separate from the Swift SMTP, and I cannot get the G-Lock SMTP mailing to work. Not for gmail, my ISP's SMTP, or my webhosts SMTP.

   Has anyone else got the SMTP working with this G-Lock plugin? I'd really like to get it to work so that the subscription confirmations don't get considered as SPAM, which seems to happen when doing a direct send.

   I don't understand why exactly the same SMTP settings would work for the Swift SMTP plugin, but not for the G-Lock plugin?

   G-Lock Double Opt-In uses Swift mailer so it doesn't work with gmail SMTP settings.

   And the issue with the webhost's SMTP settings is fixed in the latest 2.3.5 version of G-Lock Double Opt-In plugin.

   G-Lock plugin uses swift version 4 which has problems with STARTTLS encryption that required for gmail connection. As soon as new version of Swift will be released G-Lock plugin will be updated.

   P.S. Swift SMTP plugin uses 3rd version of Swift mailer.

   Thanks, this is very helpful. I have marked this support request as resolved even though I still won't be able to get it to work but at least I have closure on the topic, knowing why it isn't working. I will report back again when it really is resolved.

   Bump!! I want to use this with Gmail as well but if the Swift people are in no hurry I guess I will look at other options. My get response FREE account is now useless with 10 people limit :(

   Let us know flammobammo if this gets fixed :)
