WireMailSmtp

[Pete]

Just tested and sending via CURL using Postmark's API from a command line it went through fine so I guess it must be the module trimming the .solutions part of the domain unless the server config can also have an effect on emails sent this way?

Hello, I'm having some trouble using the module inside another module.

It looks like it can't process the "to" email, I'm always getting "Error in hnsmtp::send : it were not specified any valid recipients".

I simply call the module as I call it inside a template

$m =  wireMail();
$m->to($email);
$m->subject('my subject');
$m->bodyHTML($body);
$numSent = $m->send();

I tried to change the call to $this->modules->get('WireMailSmtp') with no success...what I'm doing wrong?

 

Edit: I solved it. Maybe it could be helpful for someone else...the send email address in the general setting of the module was wrong (different domain from the one set in the smpt) and somehow it didn't show any error when Wiremail sends an email from a template..

I've been encountering frequent Error in hnsmtp::send : cannot connect to smtp-server! errors indicating a failure to connect to the SMTP server. I'm using Brevo, formerly known as SendinBlue, and this issue only started a few months ago. The errors seem to occur randomly, with varying frequency, ranging from ten times a day to once a week. I've reached out to Brevo for assistance, but they haven't identified any issues so far.

Additionally, I recently conducted an external SMTP test on dnschecker.org, and it consistently succeeded each time (though this might be coincidental). The problem persists regardless of whether I test the connection locally or in a live environment.

I'm wondering if there's a way to debug the SMTP connection to gather more information about the problem.

Also having this same issue and digging through the module to find a solution. Did you happen to find a better solution than using the curl command?

Found this in the module and needs to be fixed:

var $email_address_pattern="([-!#\$%&'*+./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~])+@([-!#\$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}";

@horst the regex mentioned above does appear to be faulty as it only allows domain endings up to 6 characters whereas this discussion suggests an upper limit of 63 (though nobody has created one that long yet to my knowledge). I would just go for 2,24 for now to keep it relatively sensible as the longest currently is 24, or you could just make it 2,63 to future-proof it a bit?

@Jason Spooner I'm submitting a PR on Github now for Horst to look at - thanks for finding the issue.

Hello everyone,
does anyone have experience with All-Inkl.com?

Somehow I can't get it set up correctly. My settings can be seen on the screenshot.

Does anyone have an idea why this might be?

Sending emails via Thunderbird works

Thank you

[zoeck]

You have entered a few small details incorrectly ? 

Use Port 587, Uncheck "use SSL" and then "Select a crypto method for TLS" (for Example STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_CLIENT)

And change the SMTP User to your Mail USERNAME, not your Email Address (you can find this info in the All-Inkl KAS -> Edit the Mailbox).

Thank you, it works now.

But it's strange, for thunderbird or other mail programs I had to use the Port 465 and I could use the mail address as username. In their faq they also wrote Port 465.

I think Both is possible ? Port 465 is the SSL Port.

All Inkl FAQ:

If you use STARTTLS as connection security, enter port 25 or 587. When using SSL/TLS, port 465 applies.

The Mail address as username also works (mostly), but I have had problems with it before, so I always recommend using the username.

@horst I've added multi-language support on both signature fields and sent you a pull request.

Hello @All

I got a problem. Latest PW, same PHP 8.1

When sending from Localhost everything is working fine. When sending from my website I got "Connection refused". Error log:

module/edit?name=WireMailSmtp&collapse_info=1	Error in hnsmtp::send : cannot connect to smtp-server!

I've tried to change Hostname of this computer but no luck. 

Using smtp.zoho.com, port 465, SSL checked

Edited June 5 by Leftfield

I found these settings for ZOHO - and they use a different server:

Outgoing Server Name: smtp.zoho.eu
Port: 465
Security Type: SSL
Require Authentication: Yes.

https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/zoho-smtp.html

[Leftfield]

Yes @wbmnfktr (now I count bottles of whiskey I own you), I am on my mobile, waited to come home to sit down by the computer to post here, but you posted before me.

In the end, I found out it was my server blocking the outgoing SMTP connection. The module is working great! Still waiting the host to unlock it. 

[wbmnfktr]

Maybe your hosting company needs that whiskey to unlock it faster.
Solution found. That's perfect.

Does anyone have a fix for the following error which appears when using the "Test settings" function?

Class "ProcessWire\WireMailSmtp" not found

(at site/modules/WireMailSmtp/WireMailSmtpAdaptor.php:145)

I'm using ProcessWire 3.0.229

Or is there an alternative plugin to send smtp mails on modern PW systems?

[wbmnfktr]

Running that test in WireMailSmtp 0.6.4 with ProcessWire 3.0.240 on PHP 8.2 doesn't throw any errors here.

Don't have a 3.0.229 at hand right now to test it with.

What WireMailSmtp and PHP version are you running?

[clemens]

I'm running WireMailSmtp 0.6.4 and PHP 8.0 (With ProcessWire 3.0.229)

Minor request. Is it possible to use the 'test' function when wireMailRouter is installed? I get "Couldn't get the right WireMail-Module (WireMailSmtp). found: WireMailRouter"

If I set $config->wireMail('module', 'WireMailSmtp'); temporarily then it works, but I wonder if it is possible for the module to supply that as an override when testing?

[wbmnfktr]

Wouldn't that mean that your test resulted in WireMailRouter took care of that test and ignored WireMailSmtp?

WireMailRouter was set to use WireMailSmtp as primary method, but (if a from and to is specified in verbose settings) WireMailSmtp ignores the test attempt if it is not the WireMail class name:

                $mail = wireMail();
                if($mail->className != 'WireMailSmtp') {
                    $dump = "<p>Couldn't get the right WireMail-Module (WireMailSmtp). found: {$mail->className}</p>";
                } else {

So basically the full test will not work if WireMailRouter is installed - only the plain connection test. My suggestions are:

1. The config screen should make it clear that verbose debug settings will not work if WireMailSmtp is not the WireMail class and need to be empty to test the connection only, or
2. that the test should temporarily set the WireMail class to be WireMailSmtp - something like: 

               if($from && $to) {
                   // do a verbose debugging
                   if(!$subject) $subject = 'Debug Testmail';
                   if(!$body) $body = 'Debug Testmail, äöüß';
                   $mail = wireMail();
                   $dump = '';
                   if($mail->className != 'WireMailSmtp') {
                       $wireMailClass = $mail->className;
                       $this->config->wireMail('module', 'WireMailSmtp');
                       $mail = wireMail();
                       $dump .= "<p>Currently installed WireMail class is $wireMailClass. Testing with WireMailSmtp, then reverting to $wireMailClass.</p>";
                   }
                   $mail->from = $from;
                   $mail->to($to);
                   $mail->subject($subject);
                   $mail->sendSingle(true);
                   $mail->body($body);
                   $dump .= $mail->debugSend(3);
                   if(isset($wireMailClass)) $this->config->wireMail('module', $wireMailClass);
               } else {
                   // only try a testconnection

    

Personally I'm more inclined to (2), but does anyone else have a view?

Hi, I don't have WireMailRouter and therefor don't know how it works together.
But please can you (or @Ivan Gretsky or @wbmnfktr, who seems to have it too, like you) simply test the following OneLineChange in the WireMailSmtp-Testfunction?  

    $mail = wireMail();
    if ($mail->className != 'WireMailSmtp' && $mail->className != 'WireMailRouter) {
....

It then will skip the abort. So, don't know if it then works like it should, but that's why I ask for the test. 🙂

Let me know if someone can do that, and if so, what was the result.
Greetings! 🙋‍♂️

I'll do that later this evening @horst. However, the reason I chose to make the change I did, rather than the one you suggest, is because different mail modules permit slightly different methods so the WireMailSmtp methods may not work without changing the class. Also, my suggestion will work as a standalone test of WireMailSmtp even if the current class is something completely different (e.g. WireMailMailgun) and the developer is using a different method from WireMailRouter to switch classes.
