I am using PHPMailer in Laravel 7. Mail works fine. Send Email successful. But after click 'send' button it shows some line about server after this, showing the success message.
This lines are show -
2021-01-04 19:27:49 SERVER -> CLIENT: xxxx
2021-01-04 19:27:49 CLIENT -> SERVER:
2021-01-04 19:27:49 SERVER -> CLIENT:
2021-01-04 19:27:49 SERVER -> CLIENT: xxxxx
2021-01-04 19:27:49 CLIENT -> SERVER: xxxx
2021-01-04 19:27:49 SERVER -> CLIENT: xxxx
My Controller Code :
public function jobApply(Request $request)
{
$resume = Resume::where('candidate_id', Auth::guard('candidate')->user()->id)->first();
$compEmail = $request->txt_compEmail;
$cadEmail = $request->txt_candEmail;
$subject = $request->txt_subject;
$body = $request->txt_candSalary;
$file = $resume->resume;
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
$mail->isSMTP();
// Send using SMTP
$mail->Host = env('MAIL_HOST');
// Set the SMTP server to send through
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
// Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = env('MAIL_USERNAME');
// SMTP username
$mail->Password = env('MAIL_PASSWORD');
// SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION');
// Enable TLS encryption; `PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS` encouraged
$mail->Port = env('MAIL_PORT');
Log::info("Check:".$mail->Host. ' '.$mail->Username.' '.$mail->Password.' '.$mail->SMTPSecure.' '.$mail->Port);// TCP port to connect to, use 465 for `PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS` above
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom($cadEmail);
$mail->addAddress($compEmail);
// Add a recipient
$mail->AltBody ='';
$mail->addAttachment($file );
// Content
$mail->isHTML(true);
// Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = 'Expected Salary : ' . $body ;
$mail->send();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
// dd($e);
}
if ($mail){
return redirect()->back()->with('success','Mail Send Successfully..!!');
}
else{
return redirect()->back()->with('error','Something Went Wrong')->withInput();
}
}
How Can I hide this ? Anyone suggest me any solution. Advanced thanks.
You've asked it to show debug output, so it is producing it. If you don't want that, don't turn it on – comment out this line:
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;
I was trying to use PHPMailer library to send email.
I installed PHPMailer using composer And i just use their tutorial example.
Before that I also set the gmail account settings to allow less secure apps.
Here is my code:
<?php
// Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
// These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
//Load Composer's autoloader
require 'phpmailer/vendor/autoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
//Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com:587'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'hidden#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'hidden'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('hidden#gmail.com', 'Mr. From');
$mail->addAddress('to.#gmail.com', 'Mr. To'); // Add a recipient
//Content
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
And Here is the Error:
2018-03-30 05:44:49 SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP 5sm16638786pfh.133 - gsmtp

Please help me.
Just Add the following codes before line code $mail->SMTPDebug saves the day
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
I already setup postfix in my debian linux VPS.
I can send email via ssh console using postfix.
I can send email using PHPMailer using my gmail account.
I can receive email in my debian linux VPS account.
Then I want to send email using PHPMailer via Postfix using my debian linux vps account. But it's failed with log below.
SERVER -> CLIENT: <br>
CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO android<br>
SERVER -> CLIENT: <br>
SMTP ERROR: EHLO command failed: <br>
SMTP NOTICE: EOF caught while checking if connected<br>
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.<br>
How to send email using PHPMailer using postfix ? should i use sasl ?
My sendmail.php
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Subject = 'hello postfix phpmailer';
$mail->msgHTML(file_get_contents('contentemail.html'), dirname(__FILE__));
$mail->Host = 'yyyy.zzzz.com';
$mail->Username = "xxxx";
$mail->setFrom('xxxx#yyyy.zzzz.com', 'Ceramah Islam');
$mail->addReplyTo('xxxx#yyyy.zzzz.com', 'Ceramah Islam');
$mail->Password = "aaaaaa";
$mail->addAddress('bbbb#gmail.com', 'bbbb');
$mail->send();
I think the problem is caused by the "snakeoil" certificate and private key that come with Postfix. The trick is not to verify them. Here is what I found worked:
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = "localhost";
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->SMTPOptions = array
(
'ssl' => array
(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
$mail->setFrom('server#example.org', 'My Server');
$mail->addAddress('user#example.com', 'My User');
$mail->Subject = 'Message from PHPMailer and Postfix';
$mail->Body = 'Whatever';
if ($mail->send())
// SMTP message send success
{
// Put success logic here
}
else
// SMTP message send failure
{
// Put failure logic here
}
I am using below code to send mail but this is not working for me. Please help me to resolve this problem.
require 'class.phpmailer.php';
require 'class.smtp.php';
$subject="Test PHP mailer";
$message="Hi";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // sets the prefix to the servier - TLS/SSL
$mail->Host = "smtp.office365.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server - smtp.gmail.com
$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server - Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465 **** Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587
$mail->Username = ""; // other email address
$mail->Password = ""; // password
$mail->SetFrom("customercare#test.com", "John");
$mail->addReplyTo('customercare#test.com', 'John');
$mail->Subject = $subject;
//$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->MsgHTML($message);
$mail->AddAddress('abc#example.com');
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
It display error message:
Mailer Error: SMTP Error: data not accepted.SMTP server error: DATA END command failed Detail: 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender SMTP code: 550
Looking at the error message, it's not a problem with the code, but a problem with the permissions for the user your are trying to send as.
You will either need to get the user you're trying to send as to allow their account to be used in such a way, or you'll have to find a different smtp service to use.
I am trying to use PHPMailer to send a gmail email. I followed this post
In order to do this, I set up a function shown below:
function sendEmail($email, $name) {
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
//IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP I commented it cos it gives an error
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'email#gmail.com'; // Changed my email
$mail->Password = "password";// Changed my password
$mail->From = 'email#gmail.com';
$mail->FromName = 'FROM NAME';
$mail->AddAddress($email);
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "Subject";
$mail->Body = "Body";
if (!$mail->Send()) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
Unfortunately, it keeps on returning false. Can you please tell me whats wrong with the code?
Edit: The error which I am getting is shown below:
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
UPDATED CODE:
$Mail = new PHPMailer();
$Mail->IsSMTP(); // Use SMTP
$Mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // Sets SMTP server
$Mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // 2 to enable SMTP debug information
$Mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE; // enable SMTP authentication
$Mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; //Secure conection
$Mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port
$Mail->Username = EMAIL; // SMTP account username
$Mail->Password = PASS; // SMTP account password
$Mail->Priority = 1; // Highest priority - Email priority (1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 = low)
$Mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$Mail->Encoding = '8bit';
$Mail->Subject = 'SUB';
$Mail->ContentType = 'text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n';
$Mail->From = EMAIL;
$Mail->FromName = 'FROM NAME';
$Mail->WordWrap = 900; // RFC 2822 Compliant for Max 998 characters per line
$Mail->AddAddress($email); // To:
$Mail->isHTML(TRUE);
$Mail->Body = "Hi";
$Mail->AltBody = "Hi";
$Mail->Send();
$Mail->SmtpClose();
Here is a working example:
<?php
function SendMail( $ToEmail, $MessageHTML, $MessageTEXT ) {
require_once ( 'class.phpmailer.php' ); // Add the path as appropriate
$Mail = new PHPMailer();
$Mail->IsSMTP(); // Use SMTP
$Mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // Sets SMTP server
$Mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // 2 to enable SMTP debug information
$Mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE; // enable SMTP authentication
$Mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; //Secure conection
$Mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port
$Mail->Username = 'MyGmail#gmail.com'; // SMTP account username
$Mail->Password = 'MyGmailPassword'; // SMTP account password
$Mail->Priority = 1; // Highest priority - Email priority (1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 = low)
$Mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$Mail->Encoding = '8bit';
$Mail->Subject = 'Test Email Using Gmail';
$Mail->ContentType = 'text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n';
$Mail->From = 'MyGmail#gmail.com';
$Mail->FromName = 'GMail Test';
$Mail->WordWrap = 900; // RFC 2822 Compliant for Max 998 characters per line
$Mail->AddAddress( $ToEmail ); // To:
$Mail->isHTML( TRUE );
$Mail->Body = $MessageHTML;
$Mail->AltBody = $MessageTEXT;
$Mail->Send();
$Mail->SmtpClose();
if ( $Mail->IsError() ) { // ADDED - This error checking was missing
return FALSE;
}
else {
return TRUE;
}
}
$ToEmail = 'Name#example.com';
$ToName = 'Name';
$Send = SendMail( $ToEmail, $MessageHTML, $MessageTEXT );
if ( $Send ) {
echo "<h2> Sent OK</h2>";
}
else {
echo "<h2> ERROR</h2>";
}
die;
?>
I tried this script and had no problem sending several messages.

In such kinds of issues it is important to check how it runs on development environment before you deploy to production, since there are many server issues that might be related to the problem.
Because of that before anything set debug to true and check the messages you get.
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
That said, common server issues in such situations are the following.
Lack of SSL support in PHP. You must enable it.
Some kind of firewall might be blocking you from connecting to outbound sockets. You can check that using PHP.
-
$p = fsockopen( '127.0.0.1', <port number>, $errno, $errstr, 5 );
if ( !$p )
// port is closed or blocked
else
// port is open and available
fclose( $p );`
Try...
<?php
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
try {
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "yourname#yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // SMTP account password
$mail->AddReplyTo('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddAddress('whoto#otherdomain.com', 'John Doe');
$mail->SetFrom('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->Subject = 'This is a TEST Message';
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML($obdy);
$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif'); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.gif'); // attachment
$mail->Send();
echo "Message Sent OK</p>\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(); //Boring error messages from anything else!
}
?>
Just replace with your configuration, set the require_once('class.phpmailer.php'); to point to the right place and replace 'contents.html' your HTML template.
or
Use this code if you choose not to use an HTML template...
<?php
$body ='Your HTML message should go here';
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
try {
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "yourname#yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // SMTP account password
$mail->AddReplyTo('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddAddress('whoto#otherdomain.com', 'John Doe');

$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif'); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.gif'); // attachment
$mail->Send();
echo "Message Sent OK</p>\n";
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
echo $e->errorMessage(); //Pretty error messages from PHPMailer
} catch (Exception $e) {

2019 Update phpMailer with Gmail
I know this is an old question but it still comes up in Google and I need to update the answer to this.
If you are experience the issue (where many do) with phpmailer that it only works when you comment out IsSMTP() when trying to use gmail's SMTP then here is why.
When you comment out IsSMTP() you are telling phpmailer NOT TO USE SMTP which by default phpmailer will send the request to your local mail() instead. If you look at the emails sent at this point and look at the header of the email you will see that it is coming from your local server and not the address/domain you are trying to send it as. So yes commenting out IsSMTP() will make it work, but it really isn't. And sending from your local server that is not setup correctly will most likely result in your emails going to spam.
So how do I fix this
Plain and simple you most likely are using an old version of phpmailer, you need a newer version. The easy way to tell this is how you set your From address. If it looks like this $mail->From = "name#example.com" then you are using an old version.
The newest versions of phpmailer defines From as $mail->setFrom("name#example.com", "First Last"). If you see that then you are using a newer version of phpmailer.
How to do it right and actually make it work
Please make sure that you have TCP OUT port for 587 on your firewall
SMTP Gmail will only work with tls/587 AND NOT ssl/465 (ssl is 1990's)
Make sure that you have allow less secure apps set correctly within gmail. If you are using a G Suite account then you will have to have your admin enable it if it isn't already.
This is a perfect example how to use the new phpmailer with gmail smtp (and yes it does work, if not then something is wrong on your end)
How to install phpmailer
First download the latest version of phpmailer
There are 2 ways to install it. Composer or manual. The manual way all you need is
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer; <-- make sure these are not in a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require 'path/src/Exception.php';
require 'path/src/PHPMailer.php';
require 'path/src/SMTP.php';
EXAMPLE
<?php
/**
* This example shows settings to use when sending via Google's Gmail servers.
* This uses traditional id & password authentication - look at the gmail_xoauth.phps
* example to see how to use XOAUTH2.
* The IMAP section shows how to save this message to the 'Sent Mail' folder using IMAP commands.
