PHPMailer not working: Message could not be sent

Question

I am trying to create a contact form on my website using PHPMailer. I am having some trouble setting it up. I am trying to use G-mail as my smtp host. I was wondering if anyone can help troubleshoot this?

This is my mailer code:

<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");
require("class.smtp.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();   
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication      
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail        
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 467;  

$mail->Username = "[e-mail]";  // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "workingpassword"; // SMTP password

$mail->From = "[e-mail]";
$mail->FromName = "Mailer";
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]", "Josh Adams");
$mail->AddAddress("[e-mail]");                  // name is optional
$mail->AddReplyTo("[e-mail]", "Information");

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // set word wrap to 50 characters


// $mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz");         // add attachments
   // $mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg");    // optional name
    $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";

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}

echo "Message has been sent";
?>

The error message:

Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: The following From address failed: [e-mail]

Answer 1

Got the same error and the problem was that i was trying to sent email from "boy333@in**" account pretending as "girl333@in**". I just changed

$mail->From = 'girl333@in**'

to username i was actually connecting. So I changed to:

$mail->From = 'boy333@in**'

The idea is that these two fields is with the same usernames.

$mail->Username   = "boy333";
$mail->From = 'boy333@in**';
