After sending an e-mail using PHPMailer to my Gmail account, after clicking 'show details,' to the right of 'mailed-by,' it says 'yourhostingaccount.com.' Here is a picture:
I've read you may change it using the fifth parameter of PHP mail(), although I'm not using that. Is there a way to change this using PHPMailer? Thanks!
Have you tried:
$mail->Host = "domain.com";
I found out that my domain and hosting provider, FatCow, uses NS1.YOURHOSTINGACCOUNT.COM and NS2.YOURHOSTINGACCOUNT.COM as their domain servers. This explains why it is happening, as I was connecting via SMTP to an e-mail address hosted by them. Unfortunately, I don't think I can change that and solve my problem... oh well.

I am trying to send mail using PHP Mailer but there is an issue with setfrom() method
In $mail->setFrom('abcd#abcd.com', 'Jay');
When I use domain name .com mail gets sent and received properly
But when I use . co domain name example $mail->setFrom('abcd#abcd.co', 'Jay');
Its doesn't show any error and says mail sent successfully but mail isn't received on my account.Tried changing google privacy settings.
Note:Not using SMPT kept it to false using default settings
Update:Ok so the thing is It is working but the emails are being receive after hours and hours if I use .co but when I use .com email are received immediately.
Probably server problem.
This sounds like a known problem that's been answered before: gmail does not allow setting arbitrary from addresses. You can preconfigure aliases in settings, but you can't simply start using them at the sending client. You can see the submission conversation by setting $mail->SMTPDebug = 2;, but if it's sending successfully, PHPMailer has no involvement beyond that point.
Ok so the problem was the server (bluehost)
What was happening is whenever the setFrom() had an email address whose sub domain was not '.com' eg: " abcd#abcd.co,abcd#abcd.in" the mail was being received after several hours.
It would work normally if setfrom() was set to a normal address eg: a#gmail.com .
Probably a server issue.
I'm attempting to send some test mail to myself while working on a PHP script. I've researched some other questions and it led me to this tool:
http://www.toolheap.com/test-mail-server-tool/
Others have said that it works perfectly but I'm having trouble using it myself. My php.ini files should be reset to default values as I tried to change the SMTP values at one point, but now they are back to "smtp.wlink.com.np".
For anyone that has used this tool, how does it work? Where do I have to send the e-mail to?
$to = "localhost";
?
Set the php.ini SMTP settings to 127.0.0.1 and port 25.
Send the email to anyone, any address (i.e., send it to obama#whitehouse.gov).
The tool will "intercept" the email, and show it to you. The email will never leave your system.
Please help me send email using php, I searched trough google and found out that I need to reconfigure/edit my php.ini and change SMTP value and smtp_port,
I dont know what exactly what will I put on those lines.
Thanks for helping!
It would be a lot easier to use a phpmailer script like this, but you can also do it without that by setting: smtp_ssl = ssl and configure the sendmail.ini so that it connects with your #gmail.com account credentials, or it will not be able to connect.
On my localhost (Linux Mint OS) Swiftmailer is working fine with the following code, but whenever I move it up to my server is just hangs at the send function and then gives me an internal server error.
I currently have my email setup through Google Apps, so maybe SMTP will not work for this situation? If thats the case, how do you suggest I change this from SMTP.
Also, whenever I send an email like this, it is showing up with a from address of the one in the username area. I want it to show up with the from address in the "setFrom" function.
//Include the swiftmailer class
require_once 'comm/swiftmailer/swift_required.php';
//Create a message
//Pass it as a parameter when you create the message
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance();
$message->setSubject('My Subject');
$message->setFrom(array('noreply#domain.com' => 'No Reply'));
$message->setTo(array('me#domain.com' => 'Me'));
$message->setBody($emailContent, 'text/html');
//Create transport class and email the message
$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, 'ssl')->setUsername('useracctname')->setPassword('password');
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$result = $mailer->send($message);
Thanks a lot for any help!
This might be a port problem on the server. Port 465 could be closed to prevent spamming. It could also be that the server's version of PHP lacks SSL support.
I am wondering though, could it be that I am not using the local mail server so it wont allow SMTP?
If you address gmail as explicitly as you do, it's very unlikely you're using another transport type or a different server.
Also, what about using one of the other transport types?
I think SMTP is your only option to get it running with Gmail. It could, however, be that your server is providing a mail() based service (obviously with a different sender address than GMail though). In that case, you may be able to use Swiftmailer's mail transport.
I had the same problem : I was able to send gmail email in local (after updating that configuration : https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps ) but not in production.
To fix my problem I've logged to my gmail account with my production ip / from my production server and answer the gmail security question.
One of the solution to log to your gmail account with your production ip, is to
open an ssh tunnel (ssh -2NfCT -D 5000 yoursshuser#yourdomain.org)
configure you browser to use that proxy (eg Firefox :to Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings > Manual proxy configuration > SOCKS Hosts: localhost / Post: 5000 / SOCKS v5 )
log to you gmail account as usual
The error outputed by Symfony was :
app.ERROR: Exception occurred while flushing email queue: Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "joe.doe" using 1 possible authenticators [] []
well, here is the solution.
if you are sending SMTP mail you should create email account at the server then use this email info at your code.
the server will not send the email if you don't have valid email account to send using it
when you use "from".
this should be a true correct email account a fake one.
the only possible reason to send using fake account is using mail() function.
When I send an email with the PHP Swift mailer to this server: smtp.exchange.example.com like this:
// Load transport
$this->transport =
Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance(
self::$config->hostname,
self::$config->port
)
->setUsername(self::$config->username)
->setPassword(self::$config->password)
;
// Load mailer
$this->mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($this->transport);
// Initialize message
$this->message = Swift_Message::newInstance();
// From
$this->message->setFrom(self::$config->from);
// Set message etc. ...
// Send
$this->mailer->send($this->message);
I get a strange error back:
Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "user#example.com" using 2 possible authenticators
I know for sure that the login-info is correct.
This might be old but somebody might get help through this. I too faced the same problem and received a mail on my gmail account stating that someone is trying to hack your account through an email client or a different site.
THen I searched and found that doing below would resolve this issue.
Go to https://accounts.google.com/UnlockCaptcha‎
and unlock your account for access through other media/sites.
UPDATE : 2015
Also, you can try this, Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security#connectedapps
At the bottom, towards right there is an option "Allow less secure apps". If it is "OFF", turn it on by sliding the button.
UPDATE : 2021
The google URL has now changed to : https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps. You will be asked to relogin
I had the same issue, so I've disabled one setting on my WHM root login, which is as follows :
WHM > Home > Server Configuration > Tweak Settings > Restrict outgoing SMTP to root, exim, and mailman (FKA SMTP Tweak) [?]
I really have the same problem, finally, i solved it.
its likey not the Swift Mail's problem. It's Yaml parser's problem.
if your password only the digits, the password senmd to swift finally not the same one.
swiftmailer:
transport: smtp
encryption: ssl
auth_mode: login
host: smtp.gmail.com
username: your_username
password: 61548921
you need fix it with double quotes
password: "61548921"
I just received the same error.
The strange thing is that commented the credential lines
// ->setUsername(self::$config->username)
// ->setPassword(self::$config->password)
And the problem disappeared.
I'm puzzled because the mail server definitely needs those credentials.
I tried almost all the possible suggestions mention here but for me problem got solved after changing "Access for less secure apps" to ENABLE in my Google account security settings tab. Hope this might useful for others !
The server might require some kind of encryption and secure authentication.
see http://swiftmailer.org/docs/sending.html#encrypted-smtp
try putting username in double quote "username", somehow that fixed for me.
I faced the same problem and solved it. Try to log in manually to your gmail account first.
This issue is due to google has detected your gmail account has been abusing. E.g send a lot of emails over a short period of time.
You perhaps use the wrong username.
I had a similar error. Ensure you're not using uppercase while logging into server.
Example: JacekPL#lala.pl
If you use ->setUsername('JacekPL'), this can cause an error. Use ->setUsername('jacekpl') instead. This solved my problem.
First check if there is any connectivity problem and you can reach the SMTP server:
In terminal type:
telnet servername portnumber
If you receive the 220 response you can reach the SMTP server and there is no connectivity problem but if the connection to the server failed see what's wrong in your network.
If the server needs auth try to authenticate on the server by username and password and see if something goes wrong.
At last see if the server requires encryption and if yes openssl and other stuff are configured correctly.
I got the same same error.
I was using gmail account and Google's SMTP server to send emails. The problem was due to SMTP server refusing to authorize as it considered my web host (through whom I sent email) as an intruder.
I followed Google's process to identify my web host as an valid entity to send email through my account and problem was solved.
If you are trying to send mail from your local enviroment eg. XAMPP or WAMP, this error will occur everytime, go ahead and try the same code on your web hosting or whatever you are using for production.
Also, 2 step authentication from google may be the issue.
Strange enough sending emails works again. We did not change anything and the host say they did not either. We think a server restarts or so. It is strange :S
