[FIXED] What are the differences between installing swiftmailer with Composer or apt?

Issue

I am using PHP Version 7.4.3 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. In its online documentation Symfony says to install swiftmailer using composer:

The recommended way to install Swiftmailer is via Composer:

$ composer require "swiftmailer/swiftmailer:^6.0"

If you are not using Symfony, does one get similar access to swiftmailer by installing it using apt?

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y php-swiftmailer

Once installed with apt (it says the installed version is php-swiftmailer (5.4.2-1.1)), where is the reference documentation on the use of swiftmailer? (neither man swiftmailer nor man php-swiftmailer has a manual entry).

Solution

$ composer require "swiftmailer/swiftmailer:^6.0"

Is system agnostic and will ensure that you will always have version >= 6.x.

It is also preferable for deployments on Docker where you may be using an -alpine image which does not have apt available.

Composer will also fail the entire install if it cannot satisfy that requirment, therefore ensuring that if your app is running it has SwiftMailer.

$ sudo apt-get install -y php-swiftmailer

Will install it on a system level, so long as that system is Debian based.

It will also install it in a "global" perspective, which may be more beneficial if you're going to have multiple applications on the same server.

You likely will not know if you can use SwiftMailer until you call the class/extention and the process fails.

---

In short, you'll probably want to prefer the Composer method.

[FIXED] Yii swiftmailer fails to work in live server

Issue

Am using yii2 and i have setup a mailer as follows

  <?php
  return [
   'components' => [
  ....
    'mailer' => [
        'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
        'viewPath' => '@common/mail',

Solution

I've found a solution.

Note: I use this method just for testing. soon on production, I will use an actual email of our company.

My mail config

'mailer' => [
    'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
    // send all mails to a file by default. You have to set
    // 'useFileTransport' to false and configure a transport
    // for the mailer to send real emails.
    // 'useFileTransport' => true,
    'transport' => [
        'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
        'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
        'username' => 'myEmail2131@gmail.com',
        'password' => 'password1234',
        'port' => '587',
        'encryption' => 'tls',

Solution

I found where the error exactly is in my user model. I have this:

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail

First, make sure to use the recomended MAIL_DRIVER and MAIL_HOST values. Else, look for anything that has a relation with email in your model. In my case, I simply removed the inmplements.

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
```
to
```
class User extends Authenticatable
```

[FIXED] Extension YiiMaill (Swiftmailer) can't send SMTP from gmail

Issue

I've a PHP application that's running with Yii Framework and it's using the YiiMail extension that's is based in Swiftmailer.

My application was working perfectly yesterday, but today the follow error was launched:

fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

My Yii app config:

'mail' => 
  array('class' => 'application.extensions.yii-mail.YiiMail',
        'transportType' => 'smtp', 
        'transportOptions' => array(
             'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', 
             'username' => '**@gmail.com', 
             'password' => '***', 
             'port' => '465', 
             'encryption'=>'tls' ), 
         'viewPath' => 'application.views.mail', 
         'logging' =>false, 
         'dryRun' => false
 )

---

ANSWER: A FAST SOLUTION

My app is running in Windows, so I did a fast configuration to solve this problem at moment.

I did a configuration with sendmail and it enable into my php.ini file.

Ps: The main problem is if you have many apps running in the same php. How don't this problem to me, it's is stand alone application, I just did.

Something like this:

sendmail.ini

[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587
#default_domain = gmail.com it's is not necessary
auth_username= your gmail@gmail.com
auth_password=your password

php.ini

[mail function]
sendmail_path = "path to sendmail installation"
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587

Solution

If your current config was previously working, then suddenly stopped. Consider looking into the following:

• Generating an APP password for a gmail account

• Enabling Less SecureApps settings for your gmail account

I have encountered a similar problem before, enabling Less Secure Apps, then when I set 2 Step Verification for my google account, it stopped working.

Then generating an APP password, did the trick!

[FIXED] Expected response code 220 but got code "", with message "" in Laravel

Issue

I am using Laravel Mail function to send email. The following is my app/config/mail.php file settings.

'driver' => 'sendmail',
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 587,
'from' => array('address' => 'email@gmail.com', 'name' => 'MyName'),
'encryption' => 'tls',
'username' => 'myUsername',
'password' => "password",
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,

Controller Mail Method

//Send Mail     
Mail::send('sendMail', array('key' => 'value'), function($message)
{
    $message->to('EmailId@hotmail.com', 'Sender Name')->subject('Welcome!');
});

When I run the code it gives me following error message:

Swift_TransportException

Expected response code 220 but got code "", with message ""

I have created a SendMail.php file in view which contains some data.

How do I resolve this error message?

Solution

This problem can generally occur when you do not enable two step verification for the gmail account (which can be done here) you are using to send an email. So first, enable two step verification, you can find plenty of resources for enabling two step verification. After you enable it, then you have to create an app password. And use the app password in your .env file. When you are done with it, your .env file will look something like.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=<<your email address>>
MAIL_PASSWORD=<<app password>>
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

and your mail.php

<?php

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

];

After doing so, run php artisan config:cache and php artisan config:clear, then check, email should work.
