Trying to get Laravel 5 email to work

问题:

I'm trying to send an email to a specified user by typing in the URL, but I'm getting the following error:

Swift_TransportException in AbstractSmtpTransport.php line 383: Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.1 Authentication required

So far I'm just trying to get it to work with Gmail. How can I get this to work?

This is what I have so far: mail.php

<?php
    return [
        'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER',' smtp'),
        'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
        'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
        'from' => ['address' =>"[e-mail]" , 'name' => "example"],
        'encryption' => 'tls',
        'username' => env('[e-mail]'),
        'password' => env('MyPassword'),
        'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
        'pretend' => false,
    ];

This is what I have in the routes:

Route::get('test', function() {
    Mail::send('Email.test', [], function ($message) {
        $message->to('[e-mail]', 'HisName')->subject('Welcome!');
    });
});

This is what I have in my controller:

class MailController extends Controller
{
    public function Sending_Email()
    {
        $this->call('GET','Email.test');
        return View('Email.test');
    }
}

And this is what is in my .env file:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=[e-mail]
MAIL_PASSWORD=MyPassword

I know it's working for you now @Vantheman6 but this is what worked for me in case it's the same for someone else.

I added to my .env file the details of the mail service I am using. So make sure the following details

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=[e-mail]
MAIL_PASSWORD=MyPassword

in the .env file are accurate.

NOTE: Don't forget to restart your server after editing the .env file so it will pick the new data that you put in there.

If you don't restart your server, the .env file will still continue to present the old mail data to the app even though you have made changes which can cause this error.

My .env file configuration is like this for laravel 5.1

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=[e-mail]
MAIL_PASSWORD=****************
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

here most important thing is that I created gmail application specific password(16 digit).

I need to reveal one more thing since no luck for any of configuration. That is, whenever I changed .env file need to run this command

php artisan config:cache

And this is most most most important because without this command laravel executes previous settings from it's cache. It's required me more than 10 hours to figure out.

回答3:

You are getting an authentication error because the username and password in your config file is setup wrong.

Change this:

'username' => env('[e-mail]'),
'password' => env('MyPassword'),

To this:

'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),

The env method checks your .env file. In your .env file you call these MAIL_USERNAME, so that's what you need to pass to the env method.

One troubleshooting tip: add dd(Config::get('mail')); so that you can see the actual generated config. This will help you spot issues like this, and know exactly what information Laravel is going to try and use. So you may want to stop that in your test route temporarily to examine what you have:

Route::get('test', function()
{
    dd(Config::get('mail'));
});

回答4:

the problem will be solved by clearing cache

php artisan config:cache

回答5:

Finally I got! Just to share, there are more config than just .env

This is .env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com

MAIL_PORT=587

MAIL_USERNAME=[e-mail]

MAIL_PASSWORD=********

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

config/mail.php also need to input address & name for it to work.

'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
'from' => ['address' => '[e-mail]' , 'name' => 'YourName' ],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,

For development purpose https://mailtrap.io/ provides you with all the settings that needs to be added in .env file. Eg:

Host:   mailtrap.io
Port:   25 or 465 or 2525
Username:   cb1d1475bc6cce
Password:   7a330479c15f99
Auth:   PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5
TLS:    Optional

Otherwise for implementation purpose you can get the smtp credentials to be added in .env file from the mail (like gmail n all)

After addition make sure to restart the server

回答7:

If you ever have the same trouble and try everything online and it doesn't work, it is probably the config cache file that is sending the wrong information. You can find it in bootstrap/cache/config.php. Make sure the credentials are right in there. It took me a week to figure that out. I hope this will help someone someday.

回答8:

It happens to me also.

It is because when we edit the .env file we need to restart the server. Just stop the current php artisan serve and start it once again. This will work for sure.

If still not worked try doing php artisan config:cache

回答9:

For future reference to people who come here. after you run the command that was given in the third answer here(I am using now Laravel 5.3).

php artisan config:cache

You may encounter this problem:

[ReflectionException]
Class view does not exist

In that case, you need to add it back manually to your provider list under the app.php file. GO-TO: app->config->app.php->'providers[]' and add it, like so:

Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider::class,

Hope That helps someone.

回答10:

i've had the same problem; my 'MAIL_ENCRYPTION' was 'tls' on mail.php but it was 'null' on .env file so i changed 'null' to 'tls' and it worked!

回答11:

That simply means that your server does not have access to the SMTP Server.

You can test this by doing:

telnet <smtpServer> <smtpPort>

You should get the Access denied error.

The solution is to just use another SMTP server that can be accessed by your server.

回答12:

None of the above solutions worked for me on localhost. I even allowed access from less secure apps, allowed access through display unlock captcha and set the verify peer and verify peer name to false for SSL.

Eventually, I used the open source SMTP testing solution of MailHog. The steps are as follows:

1. Download the latest version of MailHog for your OS
2. Specify the following settings in your .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1

MAIL_PORT=1025

MAIL_USERNAME=testuser

MAIL_PASSWORD=testpwd

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=[e-mail]

3. Run the downloaded file of MailHog
4. Send Email
5. Check sent email by going to localhost:8025

回答13:

You should restart the server and run this commands:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache

That should work.

回答14:

If your results from dd(Config::get('mail')); are null simply use the command

php artisan config:clear

回答15:

I had the same problem as you, I just got it to work.

Firstly, you need to double check that the .env settings are set up correctly. Here are my settings:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=yourusername
MAIL_PASSWORD=yourpassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Please make sure that your password is not between quotes :).

And in config/mail.php it has the following, without the comments.

<?php

return [

'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', '587'),
'from' => ['address' => 'yourusername', 'name' => 'yourname'],
'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION','tls'),
'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME', '[e-mail]'),
'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD', 'password'),
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',

'pretend' => false,

];

Hope it works for you :)

回答16:

I have the same problem. I fixed these errors by restarting my web server.

回答17:

In my case: Restart the server and run php artisan config:clear command.

回答18:

1. You go to the Mailgun
2. Click Authorized Recipients
3. Add the email address you wish send mail to.
4. Verify the message sent to the mail.
5. Bravo!...You're good to go.
