Gmail and SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

PHPRunner General questions

Suddenly the gmail account I had set up is not working with phprunner.
I got it working after I posted this post in the forums http://www.asprunner.com/forums/topic/19920-send-email-troubles/pagefromsearch1
But now suddenly I did not change anything and it is no longer working.
I suspect Gmail made some changes or something but I can't figure out what to correct to make it work again.
Anyone got any ideas?

You need to check if there are any errors produced. Probably your password was changed or two-factor authentication was enabled in your Gmail account.

Password was not changed and the two-factor authentication is not enabled.
I tested it on the demo account and it worked (after I authorized the location)
So now I am thinking it is something else now.
The error I am getting is
The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.
This is the error I am getting from another browser

This error is not browser related as email sending happens on the server. Since it works on Demo Account all settings are correct.
I guess there is something not right with your web server configuration like something prevents PHP code from connecting to Gmail SMTP server.

Is it possible that the ports are blocked at the firewall level if it is an internal server? If it is a local server and is running an antivirus with a network detection, it could have its own port blocking capabilities.

Thanks I will check to see if I can find that out.
