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.

email credential are correct. and tried turning off the firewalls as well but still not working
The error means exactly what it says - the service you’re trying to connect to doesn’t exist or is not responding.
This is explained two ways. Either the service you’re connecting to is indeed down, or you’re trying to connect to the wrong server or port.
In this case, it’s the latter. You’re trying to connect to an implicit TLS SMTP service on a port not associated with that service.
Change this:
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 567,
To
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
Or
'host' => 'tls://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
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'm using CakePHP 3.0.15 so I had to use Cake\Network\Email\Email; instead of use Cake\Mailer\Email;. Anyways, I have my EmailTransport in app.php configured like this:
'EmailTransport' => [
'gmail' => [
'className' => 'Smtp',
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'timeout' => 30,
'username' => 'examplesender#gmail.com',
'password' => 's2d5f8t9',
'client' => null,
'tls' => null,
]
],
And have this in my controller:
$email = new Email();
$email->transport('gmail')
->to('examplereveiver#gmail.com', 'Example Receiver')
->from('examplesender#gmail.com', 'Example Sender')
->subject('Test Subject')
->send('Message!!!!!');
Then it gives me the error:
Transport config "gmail" is missing.
However, when I configure the transport in my controller, just before using it, like this:
Email::configTransport('gmail', [
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'username' => 'examplesender#gmail.com',
'password' => 's2d5f8t9',
'className' => 'Smtp'
]);
It works and sends the email. Still, I'd like to configure the transport in app.php so I would be able to use the same transport config multiple times.
Thanks!!!
I have a error with yii2, I can't send emails via yii with a email account. If my password is correct :(
This is my code:
web.php
'mailer' => [
'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
'transport' => [
'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'username' => 'user#hya.com.mx',
'password' => 'passwd',
'port' => '587',
'encryption' => 'tls',
],
],
'log'
Controller.php
Yii::$app -> mailer -> compose()
-> setFrom('users#hya.com.mx')
-> setTo('jhon#hya.com.mx')
-> setSubject('Test')
-> setTextBody('Plain text content')
-> setHtmlBody('It is a test')
-> send();
It looks like you are using Google SMTP server. Google has a new security check that only allows you to send emails from google apps. If you are using any other you will run into such errors. To fix this you can do as follows:
Use default sendmail function by having
'mailer' => [
'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
'useFileTransport' => false,
],
I find the first solution more efficient
Change google setting to allow less secure apps
Follow this link to change you gmail settion https://myaccount.google.com/security
I use the following configuration and work right
is pratically equals to yours but with a difference the username is google mail user and not an noyt google app user
'mailer' => [
'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
'viewPath' => '#common/mail',
// send all mails to a file by default. You have to set
// 'useFileTransport' to false and configure a transport
// for the mailer to send real emails.
//'useFileTransport' => true,
'useFileTransport' => false,//set this property to false to send mails to real email addresses
//comment the following array to send mail using php's mail function
'transport' => [
'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'username' => 'myname#gmail.com',
'password' => 'mypassword',
'port' => '587',
'encryption' => 'tls',
],
],
hope is useful
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.
