I am trying to send a test e-mail to a mailtrap.io inbox, but I keep getting these errors when I turn the debugging on. Previously I was getting a Username command failed until I added AuthType = Login.

Here is my code on the page that tries to send the e-mail. The credentials are stored in the Config class, and I have verified several times that the username and password match the ones provided by the mailtrap inbox. Currently the port is set to 465. I have tried 2525 as well to the same results. Port 25 only makes the application time out.
if(isMethod('post')) {
if (isset($_POST['email'])) {
/*********************
*configure PHPMailer*
*********************/
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->AuthType = 'LOGIN';
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = Config::SMTP_HOST;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = Config::SMTP_USER;
$mail->Passowrd = Config::SMTP_PASSWORD;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = Config::SMTP_PORT;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'My Name');
if (!getEmailDb()) {
echo (displayMessage("E-Mail does not exist.", "warning"));
}
else {
$email = getEmailDb();
$token = bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(50));
$mail->addAddress($email);
$mail->Subject = 'This is a test email.';
$mail->Body = 'Email body';
if($mail->send()) {
echo (displayMessage("E-Mail sent. It should show up in your inbox pretty soon.", "success"));
}
else {
echo (displayMessage("Could not send E-Mail to ".$email, "warning"));
}
}
}
}
Found out the issue. You can't just send mail from localhost without any kind of SMTP server set up, that's why I was getting errors. For anyone that comes across this in the future, Papercut for Windows can be used to test mail sending on your local machine.
