cakephp 3.x mail is not working properly in live server
Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to send mail in a CakePHP 3 application. The same configuration in another application is working fine, but not in this application.
My email transport config in the config/app file is given below:
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'SMTP',
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'xxxx#gmail.com',
'password' => 'xxxxxx',
'client' => null,
'tls' => null,
'url' => env('EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_URL', null),
],
],
In my controller:
$email = new Email('default');
$email->from(['chgav007#gmail.com' => 'My Site'])
->emailFormat('html')
->to($emailAddRess)
->subject('About')
->send($msg);
I am getting this error:
Unknown email configuration "default".
What should I do?
try className SMTP instead of default.
$email = new Email('SMTP');
$email->from(['chgav007#gmail.com' => 'My Site'])
->emailFormat('html')
->to($emailAddRess)
->subject('About')
->send($msg);

My web servers have disabled mail for security purposes I now need to reconfigure my cakephp code to send the emails via SMTP as recommended by the host.
My code runs fine on localhost with php mail enabled
use Cake\Mailer\Email;
class LoansController extends AppController
public function sendtestemail(){
$email = new Email();
$email->setViewVars(['name' => 'test test', 'subject'=>'subject test',
'message'=>'testit']);
$email
->template('bulkemail')
->emailFormat('html')
->to('info#test.co.ke')
->from('info#test.co.ke')
->subject($subject)
->send();
}
error:
Could not send email: mail() has been disabled for security reasons
Cake\Network\Exception\SocketException
My code runs fine on localhost with php mail enabled
It works fine in localhost but not in your remote hosting because your hosting company disabled it and you probably do not have much control over it.
To send an email in cakephp use Email class of Cakephp 3. In app.php under config folder, add a new entry in the table EmailTransport.
In your case ‘Smtp’. Specify host, port, username and password in it:
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Smtp',
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 25,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'user',
'password' => 'secret',
'client' => null,
'tls' => null,
'url' => env('EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_URL', null),
],
‘mail’=> [
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
'username' =>xxxxx', //gmail id
'password' =>xxxxx, //gmail password
'tls' => true,
'className' => 'Smtp'
]
],
Now in Controller, the function to send email uses above-written entry in transport() function as below.
Add path in controller- use Cake\Mailer\Email:
function sendEmail()
{
$message = "Hello User";
$email = new Email();
$email->transport('mail');
$email->from(['Sender_Email_id' => 'Sender Name'])
->to('Receiver_Email_id')
->subject(‘Test Subject’)
->attachments($path) //Path of attachment file
->send($message);
}
Also have in mind that many hosting companies also block default smtp ports. ( I'm aware that digital ocean does it, for example ). So, you might have to change that port or contact them to get it opened for you ( usually after some sort of verification ).
Some reference about what I just answered: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/digital-ocean-firewall-blocking-sending-email
What worked for me is from https://book.cakephp.org/2/en/core-utility-libraries/email.html
Edit /app/Config/email.php
public $smtp = array(
'transport' => 'Smtp',
'from' => array('xxxxxxxxxx#gmail.com' => 'Betting site'),
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'username' => 'xxxxxxxxxx#gmail.com',
'password' => 'xxxxxxxxxxpass',
'client' => null,
'log' => true
);
I trying to send an email in cakephp3.
My config:
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'username' => 'aaa#gmail.com',
'password' => '*************',
'className' => 'Smtp'
],
],
My code send mail:
$email = new Email('default');
$email->from(['aaa#gmail.com' => 'My Site'])
->to('bbb#gmail.com')
->subject('About')
->send('My message');
It hasn't display any error and i didn't receive any email from my mail. Can everyone help me.
Thanks very much.
I'm trying to send email via cakephp3.
This is my app email config:
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Mail',
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 25,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'user',
'password' => 'secret',
'client' => null,
'tls' => null,
],
],
And this is controller :
public function index() {
$this->autoRender = false;
$email = new Email('default');
if (
$email->from(['mymail#gmail.com' => 'My Site'])
->to('mymail#gmail.com')
->subject('About')
->send('My message')) {
print 'ok';
}
}
And now, if i run this function, result is printed 'ok' on monitor.
But no mail is on my testing email box, even span, nothing.
My question is, why cakephp tells me that sending was done, but no mail is present on my box ?
Thank You.
Your configuration is incorrect. cakePHP attempts to send the e-mail via smtp to your localhost.
Most likely you do not have an MTA (ie. exim, dovecot) installed locally and the request gets dropped. This should be visible as an error in you logs (if enabled).
An easy solution is to change the configuration to a working email service for testing, for example Gmail.
Example:
Email::configTransport('gmail', [
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
'username' => 'my#gmail.com',
'password' => 'secret',
'className' => 'Smtp',
'tls' => true
]);
Note that the host and port point to Gmail. This example is indicative and was taken from the official documentation.
More information on configuring email transports in cakePHP 3.0 here: http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/email.html#configuring-transports
I wanted to ask about sending emails in cakephp3.
I am using cakephp3 docs, and configured everything as example shows.
But, when I try to send mail, this error appears:
Could not send email: unknown
//app.php
'EmailTransport' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Mail',
// The following keys are used in SMTP transports
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.om',
'port' => 465,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'mymail#gmail.com',
'password' => 'password',
'client' => null,
'tls' => null,
],
],
ContactController:
public function contact() {
if (isset($this->request->data) AND ($this->request->is('post'))) {
$email = new Email('default');
if ($email->from(['mymail#gmail.com' => 'My Site'])->to('othermail#gmail.com')->subject('Hello')->send('Message')) {
//pr( 'ok');
}
}
}
Is this a generic error message (, which may have many reasons, in my opinion)? it has no value in context of debug.
You want to use an SMTP server, but you've configured to use the Mail transport!
The className option should be set to Smtp. The host should probably also be different (ssl:// prefixed), or you should enable TLS, please be sure that you read through the questions/answers found with the search linked below.

https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=[cakephp]+gmail
The host name in default configuration is incorrect.
it should be
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
instead of
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.om',
One thing that's always forgotten is the Email profiles
`'Email' => [
'default' => [
'transport' => 'gmail', //this allows the email class to use the gmail settings
'from' => 'youremail#gmail.com',
//'charset' => 'utf-8',
//'headerCharset' => 'utf-8',
],
],`
And by the way you can set up multiple profiles for the like testing, development etc
use Cake\Mailer\Email;
Email::configTransport('gmail', [
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
'username' => 'my#gmail.com',
'password' => 'secret',
'className' => 'Smtp',
'tls' => true
]);
Yous this code : Replace My#gmail.com and Secret with you credentials offcourse and after that use you code it will work.
I just developed a laravel web application with mail system.
i got error like
Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Connection timed out #110]
controller
Mail::send('timesheet/emailtemplate',array('data'=>$query),function($message)
{
$message->to('example#gmail.com')->cc('expalecc#gmail.com')->subject('Work Report on - ');
});
email template file : emailtemplate.blade.php
<h2>hai</h2>
mail.php (config)
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
'from' => array('address' => null, 'name' => null),
'encryption' => 'ssl',
'username' => 'myemail#example.com',
'password' => 'mypassword',
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
instead of using smtp use Mandrill Driver it is simpler and quicker than use smtp server. by default laravel comes with Mandrill Driver. mandrill required Guzzle 4 HTTP library.. for geting that into your project add
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~4.0"
to your composer.json file (in your project root directory)
inside app/config/mail.php
change this line
'driver' => 'mandrill',
go to https://mandrillapp.com/settings
and sign up and generate api key
create an app/config/services.php configuration file if one does not already exist for your project and add below configurations and generated api key
return array(
'mailgun' => array(
'domain' => '',
'secret' => '',
),
'mandrill' => array(
'secret' => 'enter your mandrill api key here',
),
'stripe' => array(
'model' => 'User',
'secret' => '',
),
);
