I got this error:

I don't want to use phpmailer now. (Actually I have tried to use phpmailer, but I failed).
How do I solve this problem guys?

Answer 1

$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'xxx',
'smtp_pass' => 'xxx',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
// Set to, from, message, etc.
$result = $this->email->send();

According to the CI docs (CodeIgniter Email Library)...
If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can
instead put them into a config file. Simply create a new file called
the email.php, add the $config array in that file. Then save the file
at config/email.php and it will be used automatically. You will NOT
need to use the $this->email->initialize() function if you save your
preferences in a config file.
I was able to get this to work by putting all the settings into application/config/email.php.
$config['useragent'] = 'CodeIgniter';
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
//$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'YOURPASSWORDHERE';
$config['smtp_port'] = 465;
$config['smtp_timeout'] = 5;
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['wrapchars'] = 76;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['validate'] = FALSE;
$config['priority'] = 3;
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$config['bcc_batch_mode'] = FALSE;
$config['bcc_batch_size'] = 200;
Then, in one of the controller methods I have something like:
$this->load->library('email'); // Note: no $config param needed
$this->email->from('YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com', 'YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com');
$this->email->to('SOMEEMAILHERE#gmail.com');
$this->email->subject('Test email from CI and Gmail');
$this->email->message('This is a test.');
$this->email->send();
Also, as Cerebro wrote, I had to uncomment out this line in my php.ini file and restart PHP:
extension=php_openssl.dll

Answer 3

You need to enable SSL in your PHP config. Load up php.ini and find a line with the following:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
Uncomment it. :D
(by removing the semicolon from the statement)
extension=php_openssl.dll

Answer 4

Change it to the following:
$ci = get_instance();
$ci->load->library('email');
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host'] = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$config['smtp_port'] = "465";
$config['smtp_user'] = "blablabla#gmail.com";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "yourpassword";
$config['charset'] = "utf-8";
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$ci->email->initialize($config);
$ci->email->from('blablabla#gmail.com', 'Blabla');
$list = array('xxx#gmail.com');
$ci->email->to($list);
$this->email->reply_to('my-email#gmail.com', 'Explendid Videos');
$ci->email->subject('This is an email test');
$ci->email->message('It is working. Great!');
$ci->email->send();

Answer 5

send html email via codeiginater
$this->load->library('email');
$this->load->library('parser');
$this->email->clear();
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('email#example.com', 'Website');
$list = array('xxxxxxxx#archmage.lk', 'xxxxx#gmail.com');
$this->email->to($list);
$data = array();
$htmlMessage = $this->parser->parse('messages/email', $data, true);
$this->email->subject('This is an email test');
$this->email->message($htmlMessage);
if ($this->email->send()) {
echo 'Your email was sent, thanks chamil.';
} else {
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}

Answer 6

Another option I have working, in a linux server with Postfix:
First, configure CI email to use your server's email system: eg, in email.php, for example
# alias to postfix in a typical Postfix server
$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
Then configure your postfix to relay the mail to google (perhaps depending on the sender address). You'll probably need to put you user-password settings in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
(docs)
This is much simpler (and less fragmente) if you have a linux box, already configured to send some/all of its outgoing emails to Google.

Answer 7

Perhaps your hosting server and email server are located at same place and you don't need to go for smtp authentication. Just keep every thing default like:
$config = array(
'protocol' => '',
'smtp_host' => '',
'smtp_port' => '',
'smtp_user' => 'yourname#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => '**********'
);
or
$config['protocol'] = '';
$config['smtp_host'] = '';
$config['smtp_port'] = ;
$config['smtp_user'] = 'yourname#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'password';
it works for me.

Answer 8

It can be this:
If you are using cpanel for your website smtp restrictions are problem
and cause this error. SMTP Restrictions
Error while sending an email with CodeIgniter

Answer 9

There is very simple answer to this . and the only solution that worked at the en was this configuration ..i only had to chnage the port to 587 and overwrite the codeignitor default "Email.php"
$config = array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'smtp_port' => 587, 'smtp_user' => 'admin#cafeadmin.com.au', 'smtp_pass' => '1800#Footscray123!' );$this->load->library('email', $config);$this->email->initialize($config);
