My client findspace.co.uk is name registered and hosted with Fasthosts. However since the summer they migrated their email to Office365 and since then the PHP mailer form at findspace.co.uk/pages/arrange.php is returning the error
We're sorry - there was a problem sending this email - please try again.
I've tried changing the smtp email host from fasthosts to Office 365:
<?php include_once("../class/class.phpmailer.php"); ?>
<?php
/********************************* INITIALISE PAGE SETTINGS ******************************************/
$page_title = "Contact Us";
$website_name = "Findspace";
$mail_host = "smtp.office365.com"; // email host
$mail_emailsource = "kp#findspace.co.uk"; // from email address
$mail_emailrecipient = "kp#findspace.co.uk"; // recipient
$mail_username = "contact#findspace.co.uk";
$mail_password = "MYPASSWORD";
But it's still not working. I'm no php expert and I can't figure out where things are going wrong. I wonder if it's an Office365 exchange account filtering issue?
Hi Len - I can't seem to find the bit that does the initializing - me just being a bit thick I think. The form has worked for 5 years up until my client changed email hosting to Office365 in the summer so I'm not certain it's the actual form - or perhaps it's the information i'm using for the hostname etc.
The $mail_host setting for that domain is:
findspace-co-uk.mail.protection.outlook.com
The IP is:
213.199.154.87
http://mxlookup.online-domain-tools.com/
I think you should take a look at this page and compare it to how you are initializing phpmailer on your end.:

I'm setting up an email configuration with PHPMailer and just work fine with local email in my office, but since I want use Sendinblue as an email API I just stucked and it didn't work.
I tried to find some suggest to fixed it but stucked. Did anyone try to figure out what I'm looking for about Sendinblue with PHPMailer?
With PHPMailer Library in background, I usually use this code to run my program
function send_mail2($from,$from_name,$to,$to_name,$cc,$cc_name,$cc2,$cc_name2,$cc3,$cc_name3,$subjek,$template,$is_smtp,$usermail,$password){
$sendmail = new PHPMailer();
if($is_smtp = 'Y'){
$sendmail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
// $sendmail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$sendmail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$sendmail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$sendmail->Host = "192.x.x.x";
$sendmail->Port = 465; // or 587
$sendmail->Username = "xxx#xxx.com";
$sendmail->Password = "xxx";
}
$sendmail->setFrom("xxx#xxx.com","xxx#xxx.com"); //email pengirim
$sendmail->addReplyTo("xxx#xxx.com","xxx#xxx.com"); //email replay
$sendmail->addAddress($to,$to_name);
$sendmail->AddCC($cc,$cc_name);
$sendmail->AddCC($cc2,$cc_name2);
$sendmail->AddCC($cc3,$cc_name3);
$sendmail->Subject = $subjek;
$sendmail->Body=$template;
$sendmail->isHTML(true);
if(!$sendmail->Send()) {
return "failed";
}else{
return "success";
}
}
I just want to find how to use Sendinblue with PHPMailer.
First of all, it looks like you're using an old version of PHPMailer and have based your code on a very old example, so upgrade.
It doesn't look like you're even trying to use sendinblue; you're pointing your script at a local mail server. Because you're using a literal IP address, SSL will never work because it will fail to verify the certificate.
If you want to use sendinblue directly from PHPMailer, you need to use sendinblue's SMTP servers, and that will be covered in their documentation. If they don't provide an SMTP service (like say mailgun does), you will need to use their HTTP API instead (which has plenty of documentation). You can't use PHPMailer for talking to that, though you can use it for generating messages to send, for example by doing everything as you currently are except don't call send(); do this instead:
$message = $sendmail->getSentMIMEMEssage();
This will give you a fully-formatted RFC822 message ready to submit to an HTTP API.
When you need to configure sendinblue with PHPMailer,
At that time, first, get all configuration detail from your sendinblue account
like Host, Username, Password
And then your PHPMailer use getSentMIMEMEssage(); instend of $mail->isSMTP() or $mail->isMail()
Please check the below screenshot for reference.
I have a script that sends a mail to validate a form made by a user. It's a professional application so the mail isn't a spam and the users are members of the company.
Now my PHPmailer() function bug once in two randomly. I would like technical help to see if I did something wrong in my PHP code. So first of all, this is what it should do:
1) the user end his form
2) he has to choose who will receive the email (between 3 choices, and he can cross the 3 checkboxes)
3) One mail will be sent to each person he checked, with a simple link to see the result of the form.
But most of the time, I have this error message:
Language String failed to load:
Recipients_failed [mail]
*[Mail] = the email address*
The PHP script stops there, the page doesn't finish loading and the mail isn't send.
for the exemple, we'll say that in the first page we have [mail1], [mail2] and [mail3] who are 3 checkboxes.
Here is my code:
if(isset['[mail1]']){
$mail = new PHPmailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Host=*;
$mail->Port=*;
$mail->From='no-reply#*.fr';
$mail->FromName=*;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth=true;
$mail->Username='no-reply#*.fr';
$mail->Password='*';
$mail->AddAddress([mail1]);
$mail->Subject="*";
$mail->Body = utf8_decode("*");
if(!$mail->Send()){
die($mail->ErrorInfo);
}
$mail->SmtpClose();
unset($mail);
}
I think that the code is ok because this works sometimes, but doesn't work sometimes... What should I do? Speak to OVH or there is something I did wrong?
I think your question has nothing to do with PHP.
The error message simply tells you that one of the recipients does not exist - this message does not come from php but from the SMTP server you are using.
However: I don't know why the server shows you an error message "no translation" - you should contact "OVH" and ask.
I am using Class MailerPHP to send emails on the website. Actually is working perfect as it have to work but there is some strange stuff that i can not figure out why is like this.
1. I have an array of address that i am sending emails, the array is like this:
$email = new sendEmail();
$_ADMIN_EMAIL = array('first_email', 'second_email', 'third_email');
$email->setEmail($_ADMIN_EMAIL);
The problem is when is sending emails, is sending 3 emails:
1. sending to first_email
2. after sending to first_email and second_email
3. and at the end sending to first_email, second_email and third_email
I would like to send only one to all 3 and do not send 3 times email, i do not understand why is sending like this.
2. And second problem is i am using my Google account to connect to the SMTP to send emails, and i do not know why in the TO field of the email is showing my gmail address that i connect to the SMTP, i setup which address to show there and is showing + my gmail account:
I have this configuration only and i didn't put anywhere else my gmail account only for SMTP connection:
public $Username = 'my_gmail_account_to connect_to_smtp';
public $Password = 'my_gmail_account_password';
The result of this when i get emails is first email that i setup to show for reply + my_gmail_account_to connect_to_smtp, i need to take out my_gmail_account_to connect_to_smtp from the email that the user will not see it.
If you need for information about the code i use please let me know i will put.
All the code that i send email:
$_ADMIN_EMAIL = array("first_email", "second_email", "third_email");
$email2 = new sendEmail();
$email2->setSubject("Subject");
$email2->setUserName($_USER['name']);
$email2->setMT4Account($_USER['login']);
$email2->setDate($_USER['date']);
$email2->setAmount($_USER['amount']);
$email2->setCurrency($_USER['currency']);
$email2->setRegisteredBankAccount($_USER['type']);
$email2->setBankAccountName($_USER['card']);
$email2->setTemplate('template_for_the_email');
$email2->setEmail($_ADMIN_EMAIL);
echo $email2->send();
Try this:
$_ADMIN_EMAIL = array('first_email', 'second_email', 'third_email');
foreach($_ADMIN_EMAIL as $ademail)
{
$email->setEmail($ademail);
}
I am using the following PHP CODE to send BULK MAIL .But Mails seems to Land in SPAM.I am using "phpmailer" class to send the mail.
require 'mailer/class.phpmailer.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = "info#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "Bexwa44Puciz"; // GMAIL password
$mail->AddReplyTo('info#gmail.com', 'Info');
$Appname = 'info.com';
$_subject="Newsletter From: ".$Appname;
$ema=",";
$to_bcc=explode(",",$ema);
$mail->AddCustomHeader($headers);
foreach($to_bcc as $tb){
$mail->AddBCC($tb, $dname);
}
$_body ="News content";//$hid;
$mail->FromName = "info.com";
$mail->From="inf#gmail.com";
$mail->Subject = $_subject;
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!";
$mail->MsgHTML($_body);
if($mail->Send()){
echo "Done";
}else {
echo "Failed";
}
I experienced same. My website sends requests for data confirmation to users a few times each day while I do my daily data maintenance. I sent a test message to my Gmail address and found that if you read your mail through Gmail webmail interface it will sometimes tell you Why the message was spammed. Very useful. It gave the reason "A lot of messages from hp19.hostpapa.com were spam". I am on a budget shared server and I assume a hundred other spammers have bought accounts on the same machine as mine and are using it for evil. My site is non-profit so buying a dedicated box to avoid spam is not an option. So...
My solution was to change my CMS to not use PHP mail() at all. Now my CMS simply displays the message and a mailto: link with Subject parameter set. Now my process is to hit CTRL+C, Click the link, CTRL+V, and hit send. Messages are sent from my computer's IP Address (not on any blacklist) using my mail client, Thunderbird.
This takes me just a couple of seconds longer than it did when my CMS used PHP mail() to send the message for me. However I have found I am receiving a lot more replies so I am happy that the vast majority of messages are not getting spam-binned.
I appreciate this manual solution is not appropriate for automated bulk messaging but for small non-profit sites on shared server who trigger each message with a click, I thought it was worth sharing.
There are a number of reasons you could be going into someones spam box. Your email server could be blacklisted due to either you, or another user on your server. You can check it at http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
Also check your SPF records in your DNS
Hello and thank you for any help in advance.
I'm using swiftmailer, SMTP transport method to send email from my PHP script.
Sending the message is fine. It works.
The problem is, no matter what I set the FROM,REPLYTO,SENDER settings to, The email comes through as the GMAIL mailbox (ME - me#mydomain.com) instead.
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('imap.gmail.com', 465,'ssl')
->setUsername($login)
->setPassword($password)
;
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance($subject)
->setFrom(array('test#testdomain.com' => 'test mcttest'))
->setReplyTo(array('test#testdomain.com' => 'test mcttest'))
->setSender('test#testdomain.com')
->setTo(array($to))
->setBody(wordwrap($body, 70))
->setContentType('text/plain')
;
So the email goes through fine, but instead of being from TEST-test#testdomain.com as the sender... it's ME-me#mydomain.com
I switch to a separate (non-gmail) SMTP server to test and the email went through fine, without any problems... definitely think it's a GMAIL thing.
Anyone know how to get around this?
Yes, it is Gmail that changes the sender e-mail address to be the same of the account you are authenticating. There is no workaround for that, except maybe becoming a paid customer of Google Apps.
Funnily enough I've come across the same issue. But as a bit of an insight, I think this is actually a Swiftmailer issue.
There are other libraries and frameworks (Codeignitor pops in my head) that will let you use Googlemails SMTP servers while masking the from address as an email address of your choosing.
