WireMailSmtp

@Jon this sounds a little strange. Reading most of your comment, I would think that this might have something to do with your Office365 having sending limits that you're going over. The TLS issue is what makes it weird, though - because if it was a limits problem, that would not be happening.

Is there anything in the logs that gives what error is encountered, rather than saying it just stops sending?

Hello Ethan,

Nothing in the logs I've now setup sendinblue and this has resolved the issues so I assumes its 365 like you suggested. The limit would be odd though as its not sending out that many emails

Cheers

Jon

We are getting the "WireMailSmtpConfig: ERROR: SMTP settings did not work" error with these settings (real address replaced with ***). 

Local hostname: www.***.com
SMTP Hostname: ***.mail.protection.outlook.com
SMTP Port: 25
SMTP User: (required to be left empty)
SMTP Password: (required to be left empty)
Use START-TLS: Yes

Authentication is made using something called O365 (assuming it means Office 365). Could this be the reason nothing works? Does WireMail: SMTP even work with user and password left empty?

What does the Authentication Mechanism stand for? An IP address?

In the front end when trying to submit from by Formbuilder I get "Notice: Undefined index: replyToName in ***.com/httpdocs/wire/core/WireMail.php on line 319

[adrian]

For an outlook.com email address, I use this successfully. Do these work for you?

[MSP01]

@adrian Unfortunately no. Tech support from the hosting company was also quite sure that the information we've entered is correct.

Maybe something useful in this thread?

Does anyone know if using SMTP user without a password is a problem? Authentication is taken care of by something else in this case.

Follow-up for Office 365 Settings

Thank you guys,

The problem was eventually solved. Somebody handling the web server had left some checkbox or other unchecked and that's why nothing worked.

I am having trouble setting this module up on the client's webspace. 

Locally it works like charme with the given data (as seen here - only in German: https://www.ionos.de/hilfe/e-mail-office/allgemeine-themen/einstellungen-fuer-ihr-e-mail-programm/)

Locally I use SSL via port 465 (host: smtp.ionos.de)

After copying the whole processwire installation to the clients webspace I updated the hostname but then out of the sudden the SMTP server isn't reachable anymore via SSL (nor TLS). Only unecrypted connections are working. Is there anything obvious I am missing? 

Thanks a lot for your support!

Is hosting provided by 1&1 as well?

If so... you could ask their support if you have to use another server/port or whatever in that case.

Have you tried another mail service like Gmail? Does that work?

If so... 1&1 might have the right answer.
if not... there is another problem.

What's the complete error message WireMailSmtp shows?

[videokid]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reply option too, not only in the back-end...

$mail->sendSingle(true)->to($toEmail, $toName)->replyto($repEmail, $repName)

similar to: $headers.= "Reply-To: $emailFrom\r\n";

Thanks!

One can set such a header entry like: $mail->header('Reply-To', 'my@replyto.address');

Yes, the site is also hosted on 1&1. 

 

And no, also gmail does not work. So proabably something wrong with 1und1. Will ask the support. 

Error message is

Thanks for pointing me to the obvious things ?

Hi Horst,

would it be possible to implement a feature that overwrites the configuration variables (server, password...) from a config or .env File?
We've got several sites that do auto-deployments to different servers based on the git branch that is used. Currently, when deploying the local development version to a staging system we're copying the dev database and need to adjust the settings by "hand" (we've written a script for that). Having a file based configuration would make it possible to just dump a file on the server and save the config variables in it.

Just in case it's helpful, this is what I do for Tracy - anything that is defined in the $config->tracy() array overwrites the settings stored in the DB.

Hi @felix, I don't want to enable plain text files with server & password settings, but going with the already needed and available site/config.php, as @adrian suggested, seems to be fine. (As it already stores the DB-credentials).

I try to look into it and implement it this weekend. I think this can be useful for a lot of us.

Announcement:

I've created a new branch on github with the requested feature by @felix. Please can you and / or anybody else try this out and give some feedback. If everything is working as expected, I will push this to the master branch.

Short introduction:

You can specify how many and what ever params you want into an array that is called $config->wirmailsmtp. Every valid key of this array will override the key of the stored modules config setting.

// example entry in site/config.php

$config->wiremailsmtp = array(
    "smtp_host"                => "smtp.example.com",
    "smtp_port"                => 587,
    "smtp_ssl"                 => 0,
    "smtp_start_tls"           => 1,
    "smtp_user"                => "yourusersname",
    "smtp_password"            => "youruserspassword",
    "extra_headers"            => array("Organization" => "Horst Nogajski - Fotografie & Webdesign", "X-Header" => "Some Content")
);

To see your resulting (merged) settings you can var_dump the output of the method getSettings():

// debug example in a template file

$mail = wireMail();
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($mail->getSettings());

I tested it here myself and it seems to work fine.

 

EDIT:

I forgott to mention that I removed the required flags from the modules config settings for smtp_host and smtp_port.
This way, both settings now may stay empty in the config screen, but can be set via the $config->wiremailsmtp array. The downside would be that the modules config screen isn't that robust anymore in regard of misconfiguration.

Is this acceptable, or should there also be a required setting in the modules config screen? This is open for discussion. ?

The modules configscreen now is aware of overrides from the site/config.php

Hi @horst, 

I just wanted to draw attention to a problem that might affect some in the future if TLS (or STARTTLS) is used.

I wasn't sure where to put my concerns, so I decided to write them down in the support forum. 

Some email hosting providers will shut down TLS 1.0 support in the future (or already did so). The way your module currently relies on the SMTP class (when using PHP version >= 5.6.7) it only (and exclusively) supports TLS version 1.0 (see here https://github.com/horst-n/WireMailSmtp/blob/master/smtp_classes/smtp.php#L1295).

The issue is better described by one comment on the PHP forum: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-socket-enable-crypto.php#119122.

Can you maybe integrate an option to allow specifying one of the available PHP crypto type constants?

Hopefully I don't bother you with this and maybe it is useful for somebody.

Thank you for your work in any case!

Hi @androbey 

many thanks for pointing me to this. I add it to my todo list with an urgent flag. ?

[chcs]

We'd like to send email from WireMailSMTP using G Suite. Google offers three different options:

https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en

We've tried every variant we can, without success. For anyone using G Suite, which Google option works for you? What settings have you used in G Suite admin, and which settings have you used in the WireMailSMTP config?

(We have enabled the "allow less secure apps" option, and are not using 2-factor authentication.)

Your help is much appreciated.

This has been resolved. The issue was with the WHM firewall.

Hi @androbey,

There is also a new $mail->debugSend() method available that you can use instead of the regular $mail->send() method.
With calling the debugSend() method in a template file you will get detailed log information like this:
