Using PHPMailer and Amazon SES
I am using Amazon SES. I am trying to send an email from my PHP script using PHPMailer.
I already verified two email ids and trying to send mail from and to this mail ids. But It throws the following error.
ERROR
SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 email-smtp.amazonaws.com ESMTP SimpleEmailService-693939519 QEPGeLndQQq5vJ53VMXU

SMTP NOTICE: EOF caught while checking if connected
SMTP connect() failed.
Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
The following is my PHP Script:
<?php
//SMTP needs accurate times, and the PHP time zone MUST be set
//This should be done in your php.ini, but this is how to do it if you don't have access to that
date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
require 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer();
//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mail->Host = 'email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com';
//Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
// I tried PORT 25, 465 too
$mail->Port = 587;
//Set the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
//Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mail->Username = "SES Secret ID";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "SES Secret Key";
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('[email protected]', 'sender');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('[email protected]', 'receiver');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer GMail SMTP test';
$mail->Body = 'This is a plain-text message body';
//Replace the plain text body with one created manually
$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body';
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
I tried so many solutions I found over the internet, especially stackoverflow.
Nothing works !!
Answer
I managed to make it work.
$ mail-> Port = 587;
// Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$ mail-> Username = "Amazon SES Secret ID";
// Password to use for SMTP authentication
$ mail-> Password = "Amazon SES Secret Key";
To create credentials visit this link: https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/home?region=us-east-1#smtp-settings:
To send e-mail, both sending email, as the email you receive will necessarily have to be registered and checked by amazon. (https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/home?region=us-east-1#verified-senders-mail:)
Any questions you can find me. I hope I helped
