I have a situation where an app is sending its mails with PHPMailer and next configuration:
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'myhost.dev';
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
$mail->setFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->addAddress($to, $to_name);
if ($replyTo != '') $mail->addReplyTo($replyTo, $replyToName);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
As you can see, SMTP server doesn't require authentication and all is working ok. That's all data I have about the mail server. Now, I need to make the same thing but instead of using PHPMailer I want to implement the sending method of Laravel, but I don't have any authentication credential for setting my .env file.
How can I pass the same configuration to my Laravel development? I've tried many combinations but nothing happens. This was the last one:
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=myhost.dev
MAIL_PORT=25
MAIL_USERNAME=no-reply#host.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=''
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=''
PHPMailer has no idea about Laravel, so you need to pass through the information yourself. Laravel provides the env() global function to retrieve data from the environment, and you would use it like this:
$mail->Host = env('MAIL_HOST');
if (!empty(env('MAIL_USERNAME')) {
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = env('MAIL_USERNAME');
$mail->Password = env('MAIL_PASSWORD');
}
and so on, for any other configuration variables you need. I'm not sure exactly what Laravel package defines the env function, but you will need to make sure it's loaded and within scope before calling it.

I need to set SMTPUser, Pass and Host in Email Class as variables taken from MySQL database. I can set them in Controllers like this:
$configModel = new ConfigModel();
$config = $configModel->where('id', 1)->find();
$user = $config[0]['mail_user'];
$pass = $config[0]['mail_pass'];
$server = $config[0]['mail_server'];
but how to use them in Email Class? Should I set them as some session variables and access them in Email class? Is it safe?
Additionaly, I've also tried doing email initialization in my Controller like this:
$emailConfig['SMTPUser'] = $user;
$emailConfig['SMTPPass'] = $pass;
$emailConfig['SMTPHost'] = $server;
$emailConfig['SMTPPort'] = 465;
$emailConfig['SMTPCrypto'] = 'ssl';
$emailConfig['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$email->initialize($emailConfig)
but it gives me error:
Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address
So logging to email is successful, but it cannot sent mails for some reason. Is this option missing some configuration?
I'd rather use default Email Class provided by CI4 with database variables.
I configured AWS SES as per this document.

You can try to enable debug in PHP mailer and execute it from CLI.
php filename.php
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/SMTP-Debugging
You should be able to see where is the problem.

That "Add your web server ip address to var $nameservers = array(‘192.168.0.1’); and if your web server has Port number then update it here var $port = (Port number); Hope you will get the output by making this changes." Only work if you are sending mail with that script but cant tell if that mail checked is good one or not... I have been testing the code, try all changes, but still cant check other mails outside my domain. I can only make it work on my local and webserver host. Still cant call other servers to check if other mails from outside my domain are valid. Working on it.
Complete downloads are here for others to test : https://code.google.com/p/php-smtp-email-validation/downloads/list

I'm having trouble getting the Codeigniter email library working on a new server.
This code has previously worked before but has recently stopped working and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Essentially, here is the code:
$this->email->from('example#example.com', 'Intranet');
$this->email->to($c['email']);//This is def a valid email
//$name is being obtained from elsewhere
$this->email->subject('Time manager reminder');
$this->email->message("
{$name[0]},
<br/><br/>You haven’t completed your time for today. Please don’t forget to do so<br/><br/>
Intranet
");
$this->email->send();
And the email.php config password
$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$config['priority'] = 1;
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";
$config['smtp_host'] = "my server..";
$config['smtp_user'] = "u/n";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "p/w";
$config['smtp_timeout'] = 1;
$config['validate'] = true;
The error I receive from $this->email->print_debugger(); is as follows:
data: 354 End data with .
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.
You can view the full error on pastebin here http://pastebin.com/y9UeaEGY
I've crossed out the emails in all places, but I can assure you they are valid and used email addresses.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks
I figured out the reason. Apparently, in the config, you need to set
$config['crlf'] = "\r\n";
$config['newline'] = "\r\n";
manually in the email.php file. Codeigniter doesn't seem to do it by default. Odd :)
I've put my email configurations in the config.php but I don't know how I can access them in my controller.
In my config.php:
/*EMAIL CONFIG*/
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'username';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'pass';
$config['smtp_port'] = '465';
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
Should I make an instance of the super global object?
Thanks in advance.
You don't put email config settings in config.php. You make a new file called email.php and place it in the config folder. CI will automatically detect the email config setting from that file.
Look under "Setting Email Preferences in a Config File"
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/email.html
You can access it with:
$this->config->item('protocol');
Also, see the relevant chapter in CodeIgniter User Guide
