I'm trying to send a mail with PHPMailer (SMTP).
btw: the mail server is hosted by switchplus.ch...
But if i try to send a mail, I get the following error: "SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
"
PHP code to send the mail:
<?php
require './mail/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.lordsofmahlstrom.li'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'support#lordsofmahlstrom.li'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secredPassword'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tsl'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('support#lordsofmahlstrom.li', 'Support');
$mail->addAddress('test#test.com', 'Tester'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addReplyTo('support#lordsofmahlstrom.li', 'Support');
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>
Does anyone know, what i did wrong?
it's $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
not tsl
Also, if you want encryption, you have to connect to the host "smtp.mail-ch.ch" (Except of course you have you're own certificate.)
I just tried it and worked.

I'm using PHPMailer and have tried others but this simply does not work. I keep getting an error that the server keeps denying me access. Here is the example code used:
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.office365.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'xx#xx.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'xxx'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('from#example.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('joe#example.net', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
I'm using the same settings as shown in their official documentation: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/POP-and-IMAP-settings-for-Outlook-Office-365-for-business-7fc677eb-2491-4cbc-8153-8e7113525f6c
What seems to be an issue? I have checked online in a number of posts but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?
For GoDaddy Office365 accounts you must use the GoDaddy secure SMTP server: smtpout.secureserver.net
Please refer to https://za.godaddy.com/help/server-and-port-settings-for-workspace-email-6949.

any help will be appreciated .. and it is in localhost.
On GitHub, PHPMailer says "Compatible with PHP 5.0 and later", but that may not be the case.
Try changing your version of PHP to 5.5 and see if that fixes the problem. You can change your version of PHP by going to control panel and clicking on PHP Configuration.
my php mailer is working fine on localhost but when I m running same code on cpanel I m getting Error message :SMTP connect() failed
<?php
require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = "tls://smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = '********#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = '********';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->setFrom('sender#gmail.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->AddAddress('receiver#gmail.com', 'Joe User');
$mail->addReplyTo('sender#gmail.com', 'Information');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>
Pls help me, where I am getting wrong?
CPanel blocks access to external SMTP servers by default.
Disable this restriction in whm > security center > SMTP Restrictions disable
This works
<?php
require_once('./class.phpmailer.php');
$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.mail.yahoo.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "xxxxxx#ymail.com";
$mail->Password = "xxxxxx";
$mail->SetFrom("xxxxx#ymail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("xxxxx#ymail.com");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}?>
You might have forgotten to enable SMTP access (it's part of IMAP access in settings) to your GMail account.
Also, "tls://smtp.gmail.com" is not a valid SMTP server address. Use $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; if you want to use TLS.
Thanks for your suggestions, It's really appreciated :-)
I got the solution is as follows.
1>give Absolute path for PHPMailerAutoload.php
2>host name as "localhost"
3>create dummy emailId on server
<?php
require'/home/username/public_html/phpmailertesting/PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->SMTPDebug =3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'localhost'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'info#hostname.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = '*****'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('info#hostname.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('*******#gmail.com'); // Name is optional
//$mail->addReplyTo('info#hostname.com', 'Information');
//$mail->addCC('*******#gmail.com');
//$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
//$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
//$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit();
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>
You need to buy Cpanel/WHM from the ISP company to enable access to external SMTP emails like Gmail. first, disable: WHM > security center > SMTP Restrictions is Disable.
and make sure CSF Firewall is "SMTP_BLOCK" setting is enabled.
if you using Gmail in your security setting enable less security which you can smtp auth.
PHPMailer recommended using SSL for all firewalls and security issues.

Please have a look on my code:

require("PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php"); // path to the PHPMailer class
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output

$mail->Password = 'password'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->From = 'agohar1985#gmail.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
//$mail->addAddress('zia_gt#yahoo.com', 'Zia Ullah'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('zia_gt#yahoo.com'); // Name is optional
//$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
//$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name

I have folder on name PHPMailer and mail.php is the file.
I will appreciate your support because I am new to php
Thank you in advance
open your cmd and type the following to get php-mailer,
wget https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/archive/master.zip
unzip the master. mention the file path clearly in your code.
Here
<?php
require 'PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php'; //file path
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'user#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = '_password_';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->From = 'sender#example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Your Name';
$mail->addAddress('recipient#example.com');
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Test Mail Subject!';
$mail->Body = 'This is SMTP Email Test';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
?>
test it
