Answer 1

there is missing the ssl parameter, it should be something like that

Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl")

Tested and work fine

Answer 2

I have managed to get this working without the SSL, here is how:

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('tls://smtp.gmail.com', 465)
            ->setUsername('[e-mail]')
            ->setPassword('password');
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance($subject)
            ->setFrom(array($emailTo=>$name))
            ->setTo(array($emailTo=>'Neo Nosrati'))
            ->addPart($body,'text/plain')
            ->setReturnPath('[e-mail]');

Answer 3

I'm using the "Messages Swift Mailer" bundle in Laravel 3 and having the same issue. After some testing, in my case, the solution was to set the same email address that I used in the SMTP authentication on the "from" parameter.

I was trying to use a different address and that was triggering the "swiftmailer expected response code 220 but got code with message" error.

Hope that helps.

Answer 4

I cannot be sure, but I think that Gmail's port is 587 using TLS, which is not SSL, but a newer version of it. You should check into that, because I think you are placing the wrong construction code.

Best of luck!

Answer 5

I got same error before and i added "ssl" parameter in Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl") like osos said.

IT WORKS!! thanks..:D

this is my code:

<?php
require_once 'swift/lib/swift_required.php';

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl")
  ->setUsername('[e-mail]')
  ->setPassword('XXXXXXX');

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('THIS IS THE SUBJECT')
  ->setFrom(array('[e-mail]' => 'YOUR NAME'))
  ->setTo(array('[e-mail]' => 'YOU'))
  ->setBody('This is the text of the mail send by Swift using SMTP transport.');
//$attachment = Swift_Attachment::newInstance(file_get_contents('path/logo.png'), 'logo.png');  
//$message->attach($attachment);
$numSent = $mailer->send($message);
printf("Sent %d messages\n", $numSent);
?>

Answer 6

GMail's SMTP requires encryption. Use:

Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.gmail.com', 465, "ssl");
