I am using gmail's smtp and it works fine if I send an email with a gmail account but when I send an email with an yahoo account it displays a success message but the message does not get delivered. Is it possible to send email from yahoo's email using gmail' smtp? If yes, how can I do it? And if not, how can I solve the problem?
In general,
avoid declaring incorrect identity.
This might be possible from technical aspect; however in 2016 most email systems tend to protect themself by using multip. techniques - like SPF, DKIM and DMARC and that is both for sending and evaluating received emails.
If this is true for more and more email systems and ESP's it's not hard to imagine what ESP giants like Yahoo, GMAIL and others are doing to express their hate on incorrectly declared identities (mark as spam, reject at SMTP handshake level, silently discard...).
In your case displaying success message only mean that your mail is received on MTA side for further processing, not anything about it's future.
I've been using PHPMailer for years and have been pretty happy with it, but now I'm trying to get a contact form working with an email address that is domain based but tied to Gmail via Google Apps. I.e. the MX record points to Google. I've added PHPMailer's Gmail example trying to get the setup to work, but at this point, I'm not connecting; I get this message:
SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP connect() failed.
Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
Here's my form processor code:
<?php
/**
* This example shows settings to use when sending via Google's Gmail servers.
*/
// CUSTOM: collect data from our web form
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$tel = $_REQUEST['tel'];
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
//SMTP needs accurate times, and the PHP time zone MUST be set
//This should be done in your php.ini, but this is how to do it if you don't have access to that
//date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
require 'mailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
//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 = 2;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
//Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
$mail->Port = 465;
//Set the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mail->Username = "myemailaddress.com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "mypassword";
//Set who the message is to be sent from
//$mail->setFrom('from#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
//$mail->addReplyTo('replyto#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('myemailaddress', 'my name');
//Set the subject line
$mail->subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = "Name : $name\n\n"
. "Email : $email\n"
. "Telephone : $tel\n"
. "Message :\n\n $message\n"
. "";
//Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images to embedded,
//convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body
//$mail->msgHTML(file_get_contents('contents.html'), dirname(__FILE__));
//Replace the plain text body with one created manually
//$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body';
//Attach an image file
//$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
To answer some questions in advance: yes, SSL rather than TLS is enabled in Gmail, and the MX record is changed at the host. I also did comment out some stuff, but as far as I can tell nothing that I need to get the form to actually send.
Beyond that, I don't even qualify as a hack with PHP; my primary skills are design, HTML and CSS, so I'm probably missing something obvious....
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to send a message from a script on a site, using SMTP. I can successfully read the mail on my personal email, although my work email does not receive it. I think it might be bouncing.
In the Google admin panel, I have added test.domain.com as an alias for domain.com.
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->From = "smtp#test.domain.co.uk";
$mail->FromName = "No-Reply # Domain";
$to = 'harry#test.domain.co.uk, personalEmail#gmail.com';
$mail->AddAddress('harry#test.domain.co.uk');
$mail->AddAddress('personalEmail#gmail.com');
$mail->AddReplyTo($mail->From, $mail->FromName);
$mail->WordWrap = 80; // set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->IsHTML(false); // set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $subject[PAGE];
$mail->Body = $body;
if ( $mail->Send() )
{
header('location: '.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'?sent1');
exit;
}
else
{
$errors[] = 'Sorry, your message could not be sent, '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
}
I have created an MX record for test.domain.com as well as an SMTP relay service in Google Admin, as well as allowing per-user outbound gateways (Allow users to send mail through an external SMTP server when configuring a "from" address hosted outside your email domains).
When we set up PHP mailer we need to add the credentials of SMTP mail Server in it.In you code example you skipped those lines and it is ncessary to send an email
mail->Host = "smtp.yourmail.com"; // Your SMTP server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; //SMTP secure type like ssl/tls
$mail->Username = "dont.reply.m#yourmail.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
$mail->From = "dont.reply.m#yourmail.com"; // SMTP username
Please try with proper credentials on the top after initialisation of object $mail
I would like to send an email using Gmail SMTP server through PHP Mailer.
this is my code
<?php
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->CharSet="UTF-8";
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = 'MyUsername#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = 'valid password';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->From = 'MyUsername#gmail.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mohammad Masoudian';
$mail->AddAddress('anotherValidGmail#gmail.com');
$mail->AddReplyTo('phoenixd110#gmail.com', 'Information');
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via Sendmail, basic";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!";
$mail->Body = "Hello";
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
but I receive this following error
Mailer Error: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: anotherValidGmail#gmail.com
SMTP server error: SMTP AUTH is required for message submission on port 587
my domain is vatandesign.ir
$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 = "email#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SetFrom("example#gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("email#gmail.com");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message has been sent";
}
This code above has been tested and worked for me.
It could be that you needed $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
Also make sure you don't have two step verification switched on for that account as that can cause problems also.
UPDATED
You could try changing $mail->SMTP to:
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
It's worth noting that some SMTP servers block connections.
Some SMTP servers don't support SSL (or TLS) connections.
So I just solved my own "SMTP connection failure" error and I wanted to post the solution just in case it helps anyone else.
I used the EXACT code given in the PHPMailer example gmail.phps file. It worked simply while I was using MAMP and then I got the SMTP connection error once I moved it on to my personal server.
All of the Stack Overflow answers I read, and all of the troubleshooting documentation from PHPMailer said that it wasn't an issue with PHPMailer. That it was a settings issue on the server side. I tried different ports (587, 465, 25), I tried 'SSL' and 'TLS' encryption. I checked that openssl was enabled in my php.ini file. I checked that there wasn't a firewall issue. Everything checked out, and still nothing.
The solution was that I had to remove this line:
$mail->isSMTP();
Now it all works. I don't know why, but it works. The rest of my code is copied and pasted from the PHPMailer example file.
Also worth noting that if you have two factor authentication enabled, you'll need to setup an application specific password to use in place of your email account's password.
You can generate an application specific password by following these instructions:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
Then set $mail->Password to your application specific password.
It seems that your server fails to establish a connection to Gmail SMTP server.
Here are some hints to troubleshoot this:
1) check if SSL correctly configured on your PHP (module that handle it isn't installed by default on PHP. You have to check your configuration in phph.ini).
2) check if your firewall let outgoing calls to the required port (here 465 or 587). Use telnet to do so. If the port isn't opened, you'll then require some support from sysdmin to setup the config.
I hope you'll sort this out quickly!
Google treat Gmail accounts differently depending on the available user information, probably to curb spammers.
I couldn't use SMTP until I did the phone verification. Made another account to double check and I was able to confirm it.
this code working fine for me
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//Enable SMTP debugging.
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
//Set PHPMailer to use SMTP.
$mail->isSMTP();
//Set SMTP host name
$mail->Host = $hostname;
//Set this to true if SMTP host requires authentication to send email
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Provide username and password
$mail->Username = $sender;
$mail->Password = $mail_password;
//If SMTP requires TLS encryption then set it
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
//Set TCP port to connect to
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->From = $sender;
$mail->FromName = $sender_name;
$mail->addAddress($to);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $Subject;
$mail->Body = $Body;
$mail->AltBody = "This is the plain text version of the email content";
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else {
echo 'Mail Sent Successfully';
}
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
If you are using cPanel you should just click the wee box that allows you to send to external servers by SMTP.
Login to CPanel > Tweak Settings > All> "Restrict outgoing SMTP to
root, exim, and mailman (FKA SMTP Tweak)"
As answered here:
"Password not accepted from server: 535 Incorrect authentication data" when sending with GMail and phpMailer
Anderscc has got it correct. Thanks. It worked for me but not 100%.
I had to set
$mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
Setting it to 1, can cause errors especially if you are passing some data as json to next page. Example - Performing verification if mail is sent, using json to pass data through ajax.
I had to lower my gmail account security settings to get rid of errors:
" SMTP connect() failed " and " SMTP ERROR: Password command failed "
Solution:
This problem can be caused by either 'less secure' applications trying to use the email account (this is according to google help, not sure how they judge what is secure and what is not) OR if you are trying to login several time in a row OR if you change countries (for example use VPN, move code to different server or actually try to login from different part of the world).
Links that fix the problem (you must be logged into google account):
view recent attempts to use the account and accept suspicious access.
link to disable the feature of blocking suspicious apps/technologies:
https://www.google.com/settings/u/1/security/lesssecureapps
Note:
You can go to the following stackoverflow answer link for more detailed reference.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/25175234
I have found a solution and it is working.
Basic settings:
$mail->IsHTML(true);
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
//SMTP::DEBUG_OFF = off (for production use)
//SMTP::DEBUG_CLIENT = client messages
//SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_CLIENT;
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
//Set the SMTP port number - likely to be 25, 465 or 587
$mail->Port = 587;
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user#gmail.com';
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = 'PASSWORD_HERE';
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('email#email.ext', 'From where it is sent');
//Set an alternative reply-to address
$mail->addReplyTo('email#email.ext', 'Reply To');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('email#email.ext');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'Email subject';
// Body message
$mail->Body = '
<h1>Message details</h1>
';
// Send message
if( $mail->send() ) {
echo "Sent"
} else {
echo "Not Sent";
}
If you've already tried everything, try doing this:
Disable the feature of blocking suspicious apps/technologies https://www.google.com/settings/u/1/security/lesssecureapps
Clear the Captcha https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
Do the test.
Here are some articles of interest that helped me solve this:
https://support.google.com/a/thread/108782439/smtp-error-password-command-failed-535-5-7-8-username-and-password-not-accepted?hl=en&msgid=108963583

I just wanted to share my experience with phpMailer , that was working locally (XAMPP) but wasn't working on my hosting provider.
I turned on phpMailer error reporting
$mail->SMTPDebug=2
I got 'Connection refused Error'
I email my host provider for the issue, and they said that they would open the SMTP PORTS 25, 465, 587.
Then I got the following error response "SMTP ERROR: Password command failed:"...."Please log in via your web browser and then try again"...."SMTP Error: Could not authenticate."
So google checks if your are logged in to your account (I was when I ran the script locally through my browser) and then allows you to send mail through the phpMailer script.
To fix that:
1: go to your Google account -> security
2: Scroll to the Key Icon and choose "2 way verification" and follow the procedure
3: When done go back to the key icon from google account -> security and choose the second option "create app passwords" and follow the procedure to get the password.
Now go to your phpMailer object and change your Google password with the password given from the above procedure.
You are done.
The code:
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$phpMailerObj= new PHPMailer();
$phpMailerObj->isSMTP();
$phpMailerObj->SMTPDebug = 0;
$phpMailerObj->Debugoutput = 'html';
$phpMailerObj->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$phpMailerObj->Port = 587;
$phpMailerObj->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$phpMailerObj->SMTPAuth = true;
$phpMailerObj->Username = "YOUR EMAIL";
$phpMailerObj->Password = "THE NEW PASSWORD FROM GOOGLE ";
$phpMailerObj->setFrom('YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS', 'THE NAME OF THE SENDER',0);
$phpMailerObj->addAddress('RECEIVER EMAIL ADDRESS', 'RECEIVER NAME');
$phpMailerObj->Subject = 'SUBJECT';
$phpMailerObj->Body ='MESSAGE';
if (!phpMailerObj->send()) {
echo "phpMailerObjer Error: " . $phpMailerObj->ErrorInfo;
return 0;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
return 1;
}

What can be the reason ?
Just try to put SMTPAuth to false and Host to'localhost'.
Thanks !! :)
I had this problem using authenticated SMTP. When I tested my mailing from home using xampp but connected to a (shared) server, emails went to users without problems. When I tried the same thing with the PHP on the host server, emails went through to addresses on my account but NOT to external addresses. (Ie. if my address is fred#bloggs.com and I send an email to fred#bloggs.com, it goes through but if I send it to jim#smith.com, it fails) The solution turned out to be to use the full host address when working on my local pc, ie $mail->Host = "mail.fred.bloggs.com", but $mail->Host = "localhost" on the server. May seem perverse but it works.
I just ran into this issue, and in my case, i believe it was the webhost's mail server that was not allowing a non-matching domain name for the From address. So for example, i was using mail.mydomain.com to send mail, but i wanted the from address to be test#test.com
When i switched the from address to test#mydomain.com, then the email was getting sent.
