I have a problem sending emails using CI. I used the sendmail protocol to send mail, but it is filtered as spam. I used the SMTP protocol to solve the problem, but did not receive the message.
My code is as follows:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => '*******@gmail.com',
'smtp_pass' => '********',
'mailtype' => 'html',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$message = "test mail";
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
$this->email->from('dsiddharth2@gmail.com', 'St. Maries');
$this->email->to("dsiddharth2@gmail.com");
$this->email->subject('Contact - St. Marians Belguam');
$this->email->message($message);
if($this->email->send())
{
echo "mail sent successfully";
}
else
{
show_error($this->email->print_debugger());
}
When I send an email using the smtp protocol in CI, I get the following error:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.googlemail.com:465 (Connection timed out)
Filename: libraries/Email.php
Line Number: 1673
and another list of errors ...
I asked the server administrator to enable "openssl". He has already taken care and is turned on.
