Ok so now I am pretty sure the ports are blocked. I tried a php script to test connectivity:
PHP Code:
<?
$address ="www.google.com"; //Here you can specify the address you want to check ports
$port = "80"; //Here you can specify the port you want to check from $address
$checkport = fsockopen($address, $port, $errnum, $errstr, 2); //The 2 is the time of ping in secs
//Here down you can put what to do when the port is closed
if(!$checkport){
echo "The port ".$port." from ".$address." seems to be closed."; //Only will echo that msg
}else{
//And here, what you want to do when the port is open
echo "The port ".$port." from ".$address." seems to be open."; //The msg echoed if port is open
}
?>
and saw that port 80 on www.google.com was open. But, the other ports for gmail were all timing out(blocked) when I modified the script to test ports 465,993,995 at pop/imap/smtp.gmail.com.
I updated my ticket with them and asked them to please double check that the ports are really open as I do have paid for a dedicated IP/ssl cert/they have a copy of my drivers license/etc.
I really hope the first person who handled my ticket was just being lazy and didn't really check. Either way I will update this post once they get back to me again. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys(or gals) can give me.
Vtiger + gmail = doesn't work
