I am using php mailer class. I am getting :
SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: s_deshmukh88#hotmail.com
$mail = new phpMailer();
$body = "Hello, this is a test mail.";
//$body = preg_replace('/\\\\/','', $body); //Strip backslashes
$mail->IsSMTP(); // tell the class to use SMTP
//$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
//$mail->Port = 25; // set the SMTP server port
$mail->Host = "localhost"; // SMTP server
$mail->Username = "localhost"; // SMTP server username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP server password
//$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
//$mail->IsSendmail(); // tell the class to use Sendmail
$mail->AddReplyTo("name#domain.com","First Last");
$mail->From = "name#domain.com";
$mail->FromName = "First Last";
$to = "s_deshmukh88#hotmail.com";
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->Subject = "First PHPMailer Message";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->WordWrap = 80; // set word wrap
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
if($mail->Send()){
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
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.

I am trying to change the sender address of the mail. Firstly I tried by gmail, then I let to know that by gmail its not possible now I am trying using Yahoo, and I got following error:-
SMTP ERROR: MAIL FROM command failed: 553 From address not verified.
Getting blank here I dont understand what do I do? Any help will be appreciated. following is my code:-
<?php
//date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
require('PHPMailerAutoload.php');
$mail=new PHPMailer();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$body = 'This is the message';
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com";
//$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'myyahooid#yahoo.com';
$mail->Password = 'xyz';
$name='Test Name';
$mail->Sender='thishavetoset#domain.com';
//$mail->From = 'sender#senderdomain.com';
//$mail->FromName = 'Sender Name';
$mail->SetFrom('thishavetoset#domain.com', $name, TRUE);
$mail->AddReplyTo('no-reply#mycomp.com','no-reply');

$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress('myyahooid#yahoo.com', 'title1');
//$mail->AddAddress('abc2#yahoo.com', 'title2'); /* ... */
$fileName='../rough/test.pdf';
$mail->AddAttachment($fileName);
//$mail->send();
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
echo "Message has been sent";
?>
Let me know another solution to set the sender name also if you think, it can't be done this way. Thanks a ton in advance.
The sender email you using should be real email id and as your using Yahoo mail i think then it must registered in yahoo
There are two reasons smtp trows such error are.
first is You are attempting to send email to a domain that is not recognized by this server
second is You are attempting to relay email through this server and have not authenticated
Check if $mail->Sender='thishavetoset#domain.com'; email is set for your domain name your using.
So try to use email which user email password your using.
$mail->Username = 'myyahooid#yahoo.com';
In Gmail you can add that email id as external address from accounts and import tab >> add another email address, You will need details of smtp from the Admin of hosting/domain and add the email id.
once you add the external email address you can use that email id as sender from gmail smtp.
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
can anyone provide me the way of sending mail through php with attached object as well .plz i am new in this kindly help me in this. is there any server to be installed for this? the mail should this on any email account aswell plz help me in this.can any one provide me the link of tutorial i used the tutorial HERE it display me the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function IsSMTP() in C:\wamp\www\EMS3\mail.php on line 13 plz help me in this
There is an error in the example provided there. Use the following code.
require("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "username#gmail.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
$webmaster_email = "username#doamin.com"; //Reply to this email ID
$email="username#domain.com"; // Recipients email ID
$name="name"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "Webmaster";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"Webmaster");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg"); // attachment
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "This is the subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY "; //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>
update you also need to set the external SMTP server your using. if your using google. i believe its smtp.gmail.com
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Secure = "ssl";
You can use an external PHP library for sending mail, which I have used internally on a localhost, but still configured the parameters to send to external sources. The package is Swift Mailer.
In localhost you can't send any mail. After hosting only this is possible.
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;
}

You are using SMTP to send email. The phpmailer class is not using the SingleTo parameter when senting using Smtp.
More, if you see the CreateHeader function when the SingleTo == true the recipents are only aded to $this->SingleToArray and not to the header itself so basically it PHPmailer bug.
Looks like the only choice, unless you want to patch phpmailer, is to send email one-by-one without using SingleTo property
the solution will be
function & prepare_mailer($subject, $body) {
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
//$mail->Host = "localhost"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "SSL"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "xxxxxxxxxx#gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "*********"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('xxx#xxx.com', 'XXXXXX');
$mail->AddReplyTo("no-reply#xxxxx.com","No Reply");
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
return $mail;
}
foreach( $_POST['to'] as $to ){
$mail = null;
$mail = & prepare_mailer($_POST['subject'],$_POST['body']);
$mail->AddAddress($to['address'], $to['name']);
$mail->Send();
}
Set up all the other parameters, then in a loop set the recipient, send the email, then use the ClearAllRecipients() function. Like so:
{ // loop start
$mail->AddAddress($person_email, $person_name);
$mail->Send();
$mail->ClearAllRecipients();
} // loop end
The problem is in the SmtpSend function (starting at line 701 in class.phpmailer.php). As you can see there, they don't take the singleTo setting into account, and just add all recipients and send the body of the message once.
So you should add some logic there to test if singleTo is true, and if it is modify the code so it sends these mails separately, prefixing the To: header to the body of the message. If singleTo is false you can call the code as-is (line 713 - 758).
Or alternatively, if you don't want to patch things, then you could use a transport method (ie. sendmail) that does seem to support the singleTo parameter.
$mail->AddAddress()
doesn't like CSV's
so if you have:
$Emails="addr1#host.com,addr2#host.net"; #etc;
do a for loop after a split:
$NewList = preg_split("/,/",$Emails);
foreach ($NewList as $k=>$email){
if ($k==0) $mail->AddAddress($email); # Add main to the "To" list.
else $mail->AddCC($email); # The REST to CC or BCC which ever you prefer.
}
-- BF.
SingleTo Is not a good idea. It only works with "sendmail" or "mail" transports, not with SMTP. If you use SingleTo with SMTP, this parameter is just ignored without any error or warning, and you may get duplicates.
Since you use both SingleTo an SMTP, as shown in your code, the SingleTo in your case is ignored.
The SMTP protocol is designed in a way that you cannot send one message to several different recipients, each having only its own address in the TO: field. To have each recipient have only its name in the TO:, the whole message have to be transmitted again. This explains why SingleTo is incompatible with SMTP.
According to the authors of the PHPMailer library, SingleTo is planned to be deprecated in the release of PHPMailer 6.0, and removed in 7.0. The authors have explained that it's better to control sending to multiple recipients at a higher level, since PHPMailer isn't a mailing list sender. They tell that the use of the PHP mail() function needs to be discouraged because it's extremely difficult to use safely; SMTP is faster, safer, and gives more control and feedback. And since SMTP is incompatible with SingleTo, the authors of PHPMailer will remove SingleTo, not SMTP.
