Problem sending mail with Email Package
  • kay899kay899
    Hello,
    I try to send an email with the Email Package.

    I have always_loaded it in the config.
    Here is my email config:
    http://bin.fuelphp.com/snippet/view/sF
    My sendmail lives in C:\xampp\sendmail (Windows)

    To test sending mails I have created the following action_mail:
    http://bin.fuelphp.com/snippet/view/sG

    When I let this run, I receive an error:
      (Object #74): Email\EmailSendingFailedException ↵

        protected message (String): "Failed sending email" (20 characters)
        protected code (Integer): 0
        protected file (String): "C:\xampp\htdocs\fuel17\fuel\packages\email\classes\email\driver\mail.php" (72 characters)
        protected line (Integer): 33

    What exactly does this error mean and what did I make wrong?
    Thanks for your support.
    Best wishes
    Kay

    You're using the "mail" driver, which uses the PHP function mail() to send out the mail, and it is that function that fails. If you want to see the exact error, you can remove the @ in front of it, on line 31.

    It probably means your php.ini is not properly configured for your sendmail.

    ok, I have changed my php.ini to

    [mail function]
    SMTP = smtp.hoteldatenservice.de
    smtp_port = 25
    username = backend@hotelwebservice.de
    password = xxxxxx
    sendmail_from = backend@hotelwebservice.de

    When sending a mail to the "same" domain it is working now.
    If I try so send a mail to another domain, I'll receive this error:

    Fuel\Core\PhpErrorException [ Warning ]:
    mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 554 5.7.1 <skater26do@gmx.de>: Relay access denied

    I have found that I need to set also username and password for php.ini, which I did. But still get this error. If I send a mail to that adress via Thunderbird this is working perfectly.

    Do you have any idea what causes this???

    Thanks
    Kay

    what is the sender on that message?

    "Relay access denied" is a mailserver error that says "source is not allowed to send to destination".

    with mail(), if you don't take special measures, mail is being send from <apache@your-server-name>, which might be the problem here. I think this is documented in the PHP manual.
  • HarroHarro
    Personally I never use mail(), I always run a local sendmail service, and configure the Email package to use the sendmail driver, delivering to localhost. Saves a lot of hassle. Not sure how you would do that on Windows though, I don't use that.

    Here is what my php_mail.log says:

    With sendmail_from = backend@hotelwebservice.de normally I should tell mail() to use this adress as sender, right?

    I don't know. The log seems ok. It could also be that your smtp server has a relay list defined based on IP, and the IP of your (test?) webserver is not allowed to relay?

    mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 554 5.7.1 <skater26do@gmx.de>: Relay access denied

    is a response message from the mail server, so if you're sure from: and to: on your message are correct, the problem is in the configuration of this mail server.

    He setup SMTP not sendmail

    c:\xampp\php\php,ini

    ; For Win32 only.
    sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost

    c:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini

    Read the ReadMe.html file and look at the example sendmail_example.ini

    I found a misconfiguration in the mailserver.
