I need to connect to the GMAIL SMTP server with email and password, without sending email and then receiving 200 OK.
I using the code PHPMailer:
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "myuser#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SetFrom("");
$mail->Subject = utf8_decode("My subject");
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("destination#gmail.com");
$mail->Body = template('emails/reset-password', compact('comentario'));
if ($mail->Send()) {
$mail->ClearAllRecipients();
$mail->ClearAttachments();
}
My script is sending email, I would just like to validate the authentication.
PHPMailer itself isn't much use for this as it's all about the sending. However, the SMTP class that's part of PHPMailer can do this just fine, and there is a script provided with PHPMailer that does exactly as you ask. I'm not going to reproduce the script here as it just creates maintenance for me!
The script connects to an SMTP server, starts TLS, and authenticates, and that's all.

I try to sent mail on submitting the form using the SMTP server. I get mail on my Gmail account but didn't get mail on webmail.
Is it an SMTP server issue or webmail?
What can I do to send mail on webmail?
Have to something remaining config in webmail?
Below I tried code:
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = '**********'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = '**********'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('info#abc.com','ABC');
$mail->addAddress($email); // Add a recipient
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'ABC - Register Successfully';
$mail->Body = "
<h4>Dear $name,</h4>
<p>Thank you! Your registration has been successful.</p>
<p>If you need any help or query, please feel free to drop an email using the following email address: <strong>info#abc.com</strong></p>
<p>We appreciate your patience. </p>
<h4>Thanking You,</h4>
";
$mail->send();
I have installed php mailer using composer composer require phpmailer/phpmailer. I followed instructions from this website https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-send-an-email-using-phpmailer.
Below is my code for sending email.
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try
{
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.example.in';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'username';
$mail->Password = 'password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->setFrom('owner#gmail.com', 'Owner');
$mail->addAddress('receipent#gmail.com');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = "Hello this is subject";
$mail->Body = "Hello this is message;
$mail->send();
echo "Mail has been sent successfully!";
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
When I comment $mail->isSMTP(); and send mail, I get the result as message sent but I dont get it in my Gmail inbox.
when I uncomment $mail->isSMTP(); I get error message as shown in below image.
My project is hosted in godaddy server.
Even if I use php mail() function to send mail, response is mail send successfully, but it does not get delivered into my Gmail inbox
If you want to use Gmail, you should follow the steps here to manually add Google MX records to your GoDaddy account:
https://uk.godaddy.com/help/point-my-domains-email-service-to-google-7936
Unfortunately it takes some days for changes to be reflected.
Then you need to disable security features, change your php mailer config like:
$mail->Host = 'localhost';
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
$mail->SMTPAutoTLS = false;
$mail->Port = 25;
Hope this solves.
------EDIT------
Later I figured out that the emails go to spam folder when the port is 25. I changed the connection to TLS and now I receive them as normal.
Here is the code from my website, it works on Godaddy, I receive e-mails to my gmail account.
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'true';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Username = "********#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "**********";
$mail->SetFrom("********#gmail.com");
$mail->AddAddress("********#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = " your subject";
$mail->Body = "your body";
i want to send email after user checkout from cart
my controller:
include('js/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server Gmail
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->Username = "my gmail"; //
$mail->Password = "my pass"; // SMTP password
$webmaster_email = "my gmail"; //Reply to this email ID
$email = "recipient gmail"; // Recipients email ID
$name = "John"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "Aryono King";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"Goeboek I-Mut");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "Subject Test";
$mail->Body = "Test Content"; //HTML Body
if(!$mail->Send()) {echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;}
else {echo "<strong>Email Send</strong>";}
but it show error like this
2015-05-20 21:46:43 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: (0) 2015-05-20 21:46:43 SMTP connect() failed. Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
what's the problem? i can't solve it, i search everywhere and i can't fint the answer, please someone help me
Take a look at the example here.
While personally, I do it like this:
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = $email_mail; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $email_pass; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 465; // TCP port to connect to
Try to check against yours, like for example: $mail->Host = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';, which supposed to be don't have ssl://.
Two things you need to check before using phpmailer for gmail
need to check whether SMTP port and email + password is correct or not
You need to authenticate from your gmail account for sending email from unsecured sources, means: when first you send an email, google will send you an email asking your permission to allow to forward email from your id, here your required to click allow
One more thing, Port 587 is working perfectly for me, instead of 465
Hi,
there's more...I have seen that antivirus or firewall installed in your computer may block sending emails via localhost as it may considered as spam attacks
use this code...
include 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
function send_mail($mail_to,$mail_to_fname,$mail_to_lname,$subject,$message)
{ $mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = 'mail.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = " YOUR GMAIL ";
$mail->Password = " YOUR GMAIL PASSWORD";
$mail->setFrom(' YOUR GMAIL ', ' YOUR NAME ');
$mail->addAddress($mail_to,$mail_to_fname . " " . $mail_to_lname);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->msgHTML($message);
$mail->AltBody = ' ';
if (!$mail->send()){echo "FALSE" . $mail->ErrorInfo;}
else{echo "TRUE";}
}
// How to user
// send_email(" email address where to send "," reciepient first name ","reciepient last name "," subject ", " message as html code ");
you need to do one more step for allowing gmail to send messages...!
(*) accept to allow google to send emails from unsecured apps, that link will be sent to your gmail, after you send first email
I am not able to send email from any hosting containing link of my website https://www.gogglegator.com. Emails are working fine without this link and all other links in email are working fine.
When I tried phpmailer, I got error Mailer Error: SMTP Error: data not accepted.
Is there anybody who faced such issue ever and have possible troubleshooting steps? I am searching from three days but no success.
Thanks in advance for your time.

I am sending emails using PHPMailer and through my gmail account with SMTP. It all works except when there is an & in the subject, then in my inbox the subject has &
Any way to make this not happen? I've tried setting the charset and encoding the subject.
My code is below
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->SMTPDebug = false;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "myusername#gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "password"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('from#somesite.com', 'From Person');
$mail->AddReplyTo("from#somesite.com", "From Person");
$mail->Subject = 'An example with a & in the middle';
$mail->MsgHTML('Some text to send');
$mail->AddAddress('myusername#gmail.com');
$mail->Send()
Thank You
Try using this code, let me know if it helps.
$mail->Subject = "=?UTF-8?B?".base64_encode($_POST['subject'])."?=";
