I'm trying to send email over Mandrill with PHPMailer but withouth sucess (testing on localhost).
Can someone tell me where is the problem?
This is the verbose information from PHPMailer:
2014-04-27 17:51:06 SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 smtp.mandrillapp.com ESMTP
2014-04-27 17:51:06 CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO 127.0.0.1
2014-04-27 17:51:06 SERVER -> CLIENT: 250-ip-10-107-129-238
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 26214400
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250 8BITMIME
2014-04-27 17:51:06 CLIENT -> SERVER: STARTTLS
2014-04-27 17:51:06 SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
2014-04-27 17:51:06 CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT
2014-04-27 17:51:16 SERVER -> CLIENT:
2014-04-27 17:51:16 SMTP ERROR: QUIT command failed: SMTP connect() failed. Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
Here is my code:
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->IsSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.mandrillapp.com'; // Specify main and backup server
$mail->Port = 587; // Set the SMTP port
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'example@mail.com'; // yes, I have entered my username mail
$mail->Password = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx'; // yes, API key is here
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->From = 'from@example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Your From name';
if($test_mode) {
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->AddAddress('mymail@gmail.com');
} else {
$mail->AddAddress($email);
}
$mail->IsHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->WordWrap = 70; // Set word wrap to 70 characters
//$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->Subject = 'Subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <strong>in bold!</strong>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->Send()) {
//redirect to
echo 'Message could not be sent.<br>';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
EDIT: I can delete this:
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
and it will work! But now the encryption is disabled. Why is this not working with encryption enabled?
