Joomla mail configuration. SMTP connect() failed.

[vaarsn]

I have the problem with sending out emails. I'm using native Joomla mail service with the SMTP auth. Then I'm trying to send something from my contact form. SMTP configuration in Joomla the bellow:

• Mailer: SMTP
• SMTP Authentication: Yes
• SMTP Security: SSL
• SMTP Port 465
• SMTP username: my gmail@username
• SMTP password: my gmail password
• SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com

I tried also TLS with port 587 instead of SSL 465 but nothing. On my contact form page I'm getting the SMTP connect() failed. There is nothing related under /var/log/maillog as well. I'm using Postfix with Courier. The firewall is disabled, also I tested the telnet smtp.gmail.com 465 and it works for me.

Thanks
