Are there any configuration tricks I need to know here? I select Gmail and put in my credentials ([user@mydomain.com](mailto:user@mydomain.com), password) and receive this: Connection could not be established with host [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) [Connection refused #111] Log data: ++ Starting Swift\_SmtpTransport !! Connection could not be established with host [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) [Connection refused #111] ++ Starting Swift\_SmtpTransport !! Connection could not be established with host [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) [Connection refused #111] I’ve tried changing some settings in the Google management console for my domain, but can’t seem to get it to work. Thanks! ---

Has anyone had success with this? I’m get connection refusal errors. The bigger question I have is if I have email integration in Zoho for my Gmail for business, will sending through Gmail allow the emails to be associated with leads or will I have to use BCC dropbox regardless? ---

Could you be more specific with the issue or error? You would have to BCC as far as I know. have you tried integrating zoho with Mautic and trying that way? let zoho handle the connection. ---

I’ve gone with Mandrill for sending emails for now - but a new issue: I do have BCC Dropbox enabled in Zoho, and have the email set in the BCC for an email used in a campaign, but when the email fires, it just creates a lead for the BCC email address in Zoho and doesn’t associate the primary email with an existing lead or create a new one…any idea? ---
