PHPMailer with gmail (can I send emails on behalf [e-mail])

Question

Quick question.

I have a gmail account

ie / [e-mail]

I contacted the email on my website

t /

[e-mail]

Is it possible to use PHPMailer to send email via gmail (for reliability, less likely to get marked as spam, etc.), but I have " [e-mail] " as my sent email ???

I use the code found here:

So far I have received the error message:

SMTP Error: Authentication Failed.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Read this walkthrough: http://deepakssn.blogspot.com/2006/06/gmail-php-send-email-using-php-with.html

You can set "$ mail-> From" to whatever value you want.

Answer 2

Go to GMail accounts and import, send mail as you check [e-mail] , and then try. First, make sure the script works in the “normal way." You can also buy GMail for Business (for your domain) and solve the problem.

Answer 3

The example does not use SSL, which is required .

$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; 

Make sure the OpenSSL extension is enabled in php.ini.

Answer 4

PHPMailer has an example page for gmail.

simple: http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=examplebgmail

and advanced: http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=exampleagmail

You will also download them in the example folder (/examples/test_smtp_gmail_advanced.php)

Answer 5

I would recommend creating a free Google Apps account for my mydomain.com domain and using an email account to send your email.

You can configure [e-mail] as an account through Google Apps, and then use this as a sender for your email - the settings for PHPMailer should be the same as for gmail, except for using @mydomain contact. com as your username for authentication (and any password you set up, obviously).

If you want to redirect the email address sent to the [e-mail] address to your gmail account, you can do this the same as for the gmail account .
