Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:587 (Connection timed out)

Re: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:587 (Connection timed out)

This is the error you get if your server firewall is blocking port 587. This error message is usally given by a CMS or other PHP scripts that is unable to send messages to the Google SMTP server.

To resolve simply allow incoming and outgoing traffic through port 587 and restart your server firewall.
