Here is my php page:

require 'class.phpmailer.php';
require 'class.smtp.php';

header('Content-Type: application/json');

$mail = new PHPMailer;

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "XXX";

$email_recipient = '[email protected]';

$mail->setFrom($email_recipient);
$mail->addAddress($email_recipient);  
$mail->addReplyTo($_POST['email']);

$mail->isHTML(true);

$mail->Subject = 'Subject';
$mail->Body    = "Message";

if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo json_encode(array('result' => false));
} else {
    echo json_encode(array('result' => true));
}

I have already enabled lesssecureapps : https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

Any ideas?

Thanks

Solution

  • Your ISP is redirecting your SMTP connection to their own mail server. You are asking to connect to smtp.gmail.com, but you are ending up on khadija.genious.net, and of course your credentials do not work on there.

    I would guess you are running PHP older than 5.6; this is a good lesson in why not verifying TLS certificates is a bad idea - you have effectively given away you Gmail credentials to an MITM attacker. This is covered in the troubleshooting guide.
