Scanning using GMail accounts

[teebee1234]

I'm wondering if SSL can be implemented with a firmware fix, or does anyone know one way or another if it's possible. I'm considering calling tech support with that question, it would be nice to add it to the devices out since the MPC4500.

From everything I've heard, there is no intention of adding SSL for SMTP capabilities to older models.

Thanks Teebee. As always very good info.

BTW you can use gmail without SSL. Login to the gmail account & go to Mail Settings. Set Browser Connection to Don't Always Use HTTPS. The SMTP server is now aspmx.l.google.com on Port 25. This works with or without Authentication.

I actually got an MPC3501 to use SSL with GoDaddy yesterday. Yeah!

It used smtpout.secureserver.net, just as others have posted.

That's one!

Sorry the question:
You are saying that doing that, we are able to scan-to-mail with Gmail account in older machines? (MP171; MPC2050...)

While that technically will work, it only allows you to send to email addresses at gmail.com.

On machines that do not support SSL or TSL to send via Gmail use "aspmx.l.google.com" as the SMTP server port 25. This will enable you to send with the domain, within Gmail itself or any organization using Googles hosted domain service.
