I am looking into cakephp email component first time. I am sending email like this from my localhost:
$this->Email->smtpOptions = array( 'port'=>'465',
'timeout'=>'30',
'host'=>'smtp.gmail.com',
'username'=>'mygmail#gmail.com',
'password'=>'mygmailpassword'
);
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
$this->Email->from = "mygmail#gmail.com";
$this->Email->to = "yourgmail#gmail.com";
$this->Email->subject = "Subject";
$this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
$this->Email->lineLength = 255;
$body = "<h1>This is body</h1>";
$this->Email->send( $body );
It is not sending any email or not even showing any error.
Is there something missing ?
Thanks
Gmail's SMTP server requires SSL if I recall correctly.
Try
$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
'port'=>'465',
'timeout'=>'30',
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'username'=>'your_username#gmail.com',
'password'=>'your_gmail_password',
);
Host should be : ssl://smtp.gmail.com

According to the CI docs (CodeIgniter Email Library)...
If you prefer not to set preferences using the above method, you can
instead put them into a config file. Simply create a new file called
the email.php, add the $config array in that file. Then save the file
at config/email.php and it will be used automatically. You will NOT
need to use the $this->email->initialize() function if you save your
preferences in a config file.
I was able to get this to work by putting all the settings into application/config/email.php.
$config['useragent'] = 'CodeIgniter';
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
//$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'YOUREMAILHERE#gmail.com';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'YOURPASSWORDHERE';

$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
$config['bcc_batch_mode'] = FALSE;
$config['bcc_batch_size'] = 200;
Then, in one of the controller methods I have something like:

$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
Then configure your postfix to relay the mail to google (perhaps depending on the sender address). You'll probably need to put you user-password settings in /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
(docs)
This is much simpler (and less fragmente) if you have a linux box, already configured to send some/all of its outgoing emails to Google.
Perhaps your hosting server and email server are located at same place and you don't need to go for smtp authentication. Just keep every thing default like:
$config = array(
'protocol' => '',
'smtp_host' => '',
'smtp_port' => '',
'smtp_user' => 'yourname#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => '**********'

The following SMTP error was encountered:
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.
so what is problem there?
please help me to solve
First make sure you already done the proper localhost configuration for sending emails.
Then in your controller you load the email library by setting the appropriate credentials and port number. Like so:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => 'your_gmail_name#gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => 'your_pass',
//'mailtype' => 'html',
// 'charset' => 'iso-8859-1',
// 'wordwrap' => TRUE
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
i got answer
there is missing a ssl:// in config
but after writing following
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://xyz.com';
mail is send successfully...
I've got a problem with email sending in cake. My method looks like this:
$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
'port'=>'465',
'timeout'=>'30',
'auth' => true,
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'username'=>'mymail#gmail.com',
'password'=>'mypass',
);
$this->Email->from = "admin#localhost";
$this->Email->to = "my_test_mail#centrum.cz";
$this->Email->subject = "Test";
$this->Email->sendAs = "text";
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
$this->Email->send('Hello message body!');
But when I try to send the email I get:
555 5.5.2 Syntax error. l3sm512374fan.0
What do I need to chnage in order for this to work?
Thanks
Per RFC2821, to which Google's SMTP servers seem to be a stickler on, the format of the email addresses should be in the following way:
Recipient Name <myname#example.com>
-or-
<myname#example.com>
Do this for both the from and to address, and you should be good to go. If you don't have the name of the user, then you can just repeat the email:
$this->Email->to = "my_test_mail#centrum.cz <my_test_mail#centrum.cz>";
-or-
$this->Email->to = "<my_test_mail#centrum.cz>";

Error while sending an email with CodeIgniter
There is very simple answer to this . and the only solution that worked at the en was this configuration ..i only had to chnage the port to 587 and overwrite the codeignitor default "Email.php"
$config = array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 'smtp_port' => 587, 'smtp_user' => 'admin#cafeadmin.com.au', 'smtp_pass' => '1800#Footscray123!' );$this->load->library('email', $config);$this->email->initialize($config);
