[solved] Can't connect to gmail-pop.l.google.com,995:

[Guest]

First of all I went through all the posts in this forum for "handling bounce processing through pop" but could get it working.

I am new to Phplist and got everything working except bounce processing through pop. We have our own linux server with centos 5 on it. I prefer using google app or gmail account for pop processing.

Error:-
Cannot create POP3 connection to pop.gmail.com: Can't connect to gmail-pop.l.google.com,995: Permission denied

$bounce_protocol = 'pop';
$bounce_mailbox_host = 'pop.gmail.com';
$bounce_mailbox_user = 'user@gmail.com';
$bounce_mailbox_password = 'password';

Tried various options like
$bounce_mailbox_port = "995/pop3/ssl";
$bounce_mailbox_port = "995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert";

tried options in http://forums.phplist.com/viewtopic.php ... ight=gmail still get the same error.
I can pop it through outlook express but not through phplist.

I have "php-imap-5.1.6-20.el5_2.1" installed on Centos 5 along with Apache 2.2.3 and postfix

If needed I can forward the bounce mails from gmail to any other free pop service which could work with Phplist. Provide me any free working pop account supported by Phplist. If we can compile a list of various working configurations, I believe this will help lot of new users like me.

gmail.com Bounce Processing Settings - 100% Working
===================================================

$bounce_protocol = 'pop';
$message_envelope = 'username@gmail.com';
$bounce_mailbox_host = 'pop.gmail.com';
$bounce_mailbox_user = 'username@gmail.com';
$bounce_mailbox_password = 'password';
$bounce_mailbox_port = "995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert";

GMX.com (Free 5 GB Pop/smtp service provider)- 100% Working
============================================
$bounce_protocol = 'pop';
$message_envelope = 'username@gmx.com';
$bounce_mailbox_host = 'pop.gmx.com';
$bounce_mailbox_user = 'username@gmx.com';
$bounce_mailbox_password = 'password';
$bounce_mailbox_port = "110/pop3/notls";
or
$bounce_mailbox_port = "110/pop3";
Both works

NOTE: Check with outlook express just to see if can connect to your mail service provider and download mails. Later use those parameters for above configuration. Once working through Phplist bounce processing discard outlook access to avoid double download. Else outlook might download and delete bounce emails from server and phplist bounce process might not get the bounce mails.

I was able to solve this very error.

What I had failed to do was to enable POP on the Googlemail account.(basic schoolboy error).
Also I had set $bounce_mailbox_port = "995/pop3/ssl"; to enable ssl.

Hope this helps some of you.
