When I try to send an e-mail through my website running Laravel 4, I get this exception:
Expected response code 250 but got code "535", with message "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 535 5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 wd7sm12843789wjc.36 - gsmtp "
Here is my mail config:
return array(
'driver' => 'smtp',
'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => 465,
'from' => array('address' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'myname'),
'encryption' => 'ssl',
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'lol',
'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
'pretend' => false,
);
The first time I got this message, I had to tell Google that he can trust this IP. But I'm still having this issue on my website and Google doesn't warn me anymore.
Is there a way to tell Google "stop blocking this IP, it's me" ?
Since I posted this question, I found a way to solve this issue.
I activated 2-steps authentication for my Google account. Then I generated an application-specific password for my Gmail account and I put this password into my Laravel application.
Now Laravel can send e-mails through my Gmail account :)
