I have a CAKEPHP 1.3 application and my client was using for more than 10 years. Now there is a mail send issue with send mail So I changed my mail smtp with gmail.

$this-\>Email-\>subject = $data[‘subject’];  
$this-\>Email-\>from = $data[‘from\_name’]."\<".$data[‘from\_email’]."\>";  
$this-\>Email-\>template = $data[‘template’];  
$this-\>Email-\>sendAs = ‘html’;  
$this-\>set(‘data’, $data);  
$this-\>Email-\>smtpOptions = array(  
‘host’ =\> ‘ssl://smtp.gmail.com’,  
‘port’ =\> ‘465’,  
‘timeout’=\>‘30’,  
‘auth’ =\> true,  
‘username’ =\> GSMTP\_USERNAME,  
‘password’ =\> GSMTP\_PASSWORD,  
);

if(isset($data[‘attachments’]))  
$this-\>Email-\>attachments = $data[‘attachments’];  
$this-\>Email-\>delivery = ‘smtp’;  
$this-\>Email-\>send();

Here I am not able to send mail using gmail. I am getting this error - 555 5.5.2 Syntax error. e21sm776806ioc.0 - gsmtp

Please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

I can’t remember if 1.3 had the required support to use SMTP over encrypted channels, or if there’s even anything required to be enabled here for port 465. That’s my only guess.
