Yii, Yiimailer doesn't send the mail (no error shown)

i'm trying to send a mail. i want to use Gmail server to send, for now i just want it to send to the same account from its being sent.

i'm using YiiMailer extension because it seems to be easy to use, this is the action i have in my controller:

public function actionContact()
    {
        $model=new ContactForm;
        if(isset($_POST['ContactForm']))
        {
            $model->attributes=$_POST['ContactForm'];
            if($model->validate())
            {
                $name='=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($model->name).'?=';
                $subject='=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($model->subject).'?=';
                $headers="From: $name <{$model->email}>\r\n".
                    "Reply-To: {$model->email}\r\n".
                    "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
                    "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8";

                // mail(Yii::app()->params['adminEmail'],$subject,$model->body,$headers);

                $mail = new YiiMailer('contact', array(
                    'message'=>$model->body,
                    'name'=>$model->name,
                    'description'=>'Contact form'
                ));

                $mail->setFrom($model->email, $model->name);
                $mail->setSubject($model->subject);
                $mail->setTo(Yii::app()->params['adminEmail']);

                $mail->isSMTP();
                $mail->host = "smtp.gmail.com";
                $mail->port = 465;
                $mail->Username = "[email protected]";
                $mail->Password = "password";

                if($mail->send())
                {
                    Yii::app()->user->setFlash('contact','Gracias por contactarnos, te responderemos tan pronto como podamos.');
                    $this->refresh();
                }

                else
                {
                    Yii::app()->user->setFlash('error','Error enviando correo.');
                    $this->refresh();
                }
            }
        }
        $this->render('contact',array('model'=>$model));
    }

the adminMail is the same like [email protected]

i dont't know if i have the right settings for gmail, i'm sure the condition of the function doesn't exist so it does nothing.

just to make sure. this is my config:

// autoloading model and component classes
    'import'=>array(
        'application.models.*',
        'application.components.*',
        'ext.YiiMailer.YiiMailer'
    ),

PD: i found the gmail settings around post. i'm not sure if they changed the settings.

This works for me!

            $mail = new YiiMailer();
            $mail->IsSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
            $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';  // Specify main and backup server
            $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
            $mail->Username = 'username';                            // SMTP username
            $mail->Password = 'password';                           // SMTP password
            $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
            $mail->Port = 587;
                        //set mail properties
            $mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'YYY');

        $mail->setTo($model->to_email);

        $mail->setSubject($model->subject);
        $mail->setBody($model->message, 'text/html');

        $mail->send();

You need to set the smtpauth to true when using Gmail to send email.Ckeck your sendMail box after executing the action!

Try using method getError() to find out what the error was (you can use special debug options to get more information on possible errors)

$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; //optional

if($mail->send())
{
    Yii::app()->user->setFlash('contact','Gracias por contactarnos, te responderemos tan pronto como podamos.');
    $this->refresh();
}
else
{
    echo '<pre>';
    var_dump($mail->getError());
    echo '</pre>';
    exit;
}

Additionaly, try the following:

  • ADD $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; or $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
  • ADD $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
