I get error when trying send mail with Yii::$app->mailer->compose() function. This error appears when trying to connect smtp server, so I provide error message and mailer YII2 configuration
Expected response code 250 but got code "535", with message "535-5.7.8
Username and Password not accepted.
Learn more at 535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials 59sm3639427wrc.23 -> gsmtp"
Here is params from config/common.php file:
'mailer' => [
'class' => 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer',
'useFileTransport' => false,
'transport' => [
'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
'port' => '587',
'encryption' => 'tls',
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'myemailpass',
'host' => 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com',
],
],
I already enabled "Allow apps that use less secure sign in" function in Yahoo account settings. Trying "app password" option but got the same result. Before using yahoo smtp I tried it the same way with google smtp. Error message still refers to the https://support.google.com page. Is it possible Apache cached login and pass to smtp server?
Of course I checked google support page and followed instructions included https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha page.
I resolved this case, but didn`t detect what exactly was the cause. Maybe there was some sort of cache of config error. So I put this direct setting right before compose function:
\Yii::$app->mailer->setTransport([
'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
'port' => '587',
'encryption' => 'tls',
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'myemailpass',
'host' => 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com',
]);
And it started to work.
