XAMPP Sendmail using Gmail account

问题

I'm trying to configure Sendmail through XAMPP to send email. In my sendmail.ini I have these settings:

# Set default values for all following accounts.

logfile "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.log
account Gmail
tls on
port 587
tls_certcheck off
host smtp.gmail.com
from myemail@gmail.com
auth on
user myemail06@gmail.com
password mypassword

account default : Gmail

I've created a test script like this:

$to = "testemail@btinternet.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$headers = "From: myemail06@gmail.com" . "\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
    echo ("Message successfully sent!");
} else {
    echo ("Message delivery failed...");
}

I get a message to say that the email was sent but it never arrives and in the logs I get:

sendmail: Error during delivery: Must issue a STARTTLS command first.

Does anybody know what the issue could be here?

Thanks in advance!

This is what worked for me Hopefully no one else will burn oil to figure this out like i did.

Here is my sendmail.ini

[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=25
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=myemail@gmail.com
auth_password=yourgmailpassword
force_sender=myemail@gmail.com

php/php.ini ----basically comment everything out except sendmail_path & mail.add_x_header

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
;SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
;smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header = Off

; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers
;mail.log = "C:\xampp\apache\logs\php_mail.log"

This worked for me after i updated the sendmail files (the old ones dont support smtp)

go to http://glob.com.au/sendmail/ and grab the latest sendmail zip file
unzip to desktop and copy the files into your \xampp\sendmail folder replacing everything that was there.EVERYTHING!
Now open up sendmail.ini and copy paste what i showed above.(remove everything in that file first or just comment everything out!)
NOTE: you dont need Mercury servers started for this.

I was making a password recovery php on localhost when i encountered this problem. I needed to send users their password. - your php looks okey

Okay, today, the best answer did not work for me. But, this did:

in sendmail.ini:

[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=****@gmail.com
auth_password=*******
force_sender=****@gmail.com

in php.ini:

[mail function]
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

All I had to do was switch the "Allow less secure apps to access your account" to on. I guess this is an alternative to creating an app specific password.

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 for info

https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps for the switch

Might be worth switching it back off after you're done for security purposes.

These are the most recent Google SMTP server requirements:

Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP password: (Your Gmail password)
Gmail SMTP port (TLS): 587
Gmail SMTP port (SSL): 465
Gmail SMTP TLS/SSL required: Yes

Google SMTP Requirements

If you just use SSL it gets complicated with the required Captcha verification test so I just set my SSL to auto which will try TLS when SSL Fails.

回答5:

Just to add to the already great responses. Make sure you are running XAMPP as Administrator. That was what fixed it for me.

回答6:

There is another issue when using Gmail. Gmail now has security so that you must generate an application specific password - you can't use the password you have for your normal Gmail access. I discovered this by trying the examples above and then noticing that in the sendmail folder an error log had been generated. In the error log I came across a message indicating this.

I know this is an oldish post but just thought I would share the fact that the following worked for me.

I am currently using a WAMP server on Windows 7 ENT with Apache/2.4.9 (Win64) PHP/5.5.12, and MySQL 5.6.17.

I followed this tutorial: http://blog.techwheels.net/send-email-from-localhost-wamp-server-using-sendmail/

THIS IS WHAT YOU SENDMAIL SHOULD LOOK LIKE


[sendmail]

; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory.  (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
; application.

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=465

; SMTPS (SSL) support
;   auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS
;   ssl = always use SSL
;   tls  = always use TLS
;   none = never try to use SSL

smtp_ssl=auto

; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify

;default_domain=mydomain.com

; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging

error_logfile=error.log

; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging

debug_logfile=debug.log

; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines

auth_username=Your Email Here
auth_password=Your Password Here

; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the 
; following three lines.  do not enable unless it is required.

pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=

; force the sender to always be the following email address
; this will only affect the "MAIL FROM" command, it won't modify 
; the "From: " header of the message content

force_sender=Your Email Here

; force the sender to always be the following email address
; this will only affect the "RCTP TO" command, it won't modify 
; the "To: " header of the message content

force_recipient=

; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting.  you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required

hostname=smtp.gmail.com

THIS IS WHAT YOU PHP.INI FILE SHOULD LOOK LIKE

[mail function]
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 465

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = postmaster@localhost

; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesC:\xampp) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly.
; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path.  
; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder)
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the C:\xampp\mailoutput folder
;sendmail_path = "C:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
mail.add_x_header=Off

a) Change php.ini Locate php.ini in file path “[Drive Letter]:[XAMPP directory]\php”. e.g. C:\xampp\php\php.ini

Search for sendmail_path in your php.ini file and remove the semi colon “;” before it [mine did not have path].

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com

smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
sendmail_from = [your_gmail_username]@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampplite\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

b) Change sendmail.ini Locate sendmail.ini in file path is “[Drive Letter]:[XAMPP directory]\sendmail” e.g. C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini

Comment the “Mercury” and “A free mail service example” contents as shown below:

 # Mercury  <br/> 
 #account Mercury  <br/> 
 #host localhost  <br/> 
 #from postmaster@localhost  <br/> 
 #auth off  <br/> 
 # A freemail service example  <br/> 
 #account Hotmail  <br/> 
 #tls on  <br/> 
 #tls_certcheck off  <br/> 
 #host smtp.live .com  <br/> 
 #from [exampleuser]@hotmail.com  <br/> 
 #auth on  <br/> 
 #user [exampleuser]@hotmail .com  <br/> 
 #password [examplepassword]  <br/>

c. Add the gmail account.

Example:

account Gmail
tls on 
tls_certcheck off
host smtp.gmail.com 
 from [your_gmail_username]@gmail.com 
auth on
  account default : Gmail

d. Restart Apache Server

I did not use gmail. I used my hosting account. If you do that, make sure the SMTP settings are correct. Mine was mail.abc.com not smtp.gmail.com. This code is from 2 websites. You need to change both files. I have it working on Xampp 1.73 running on a win200sp4 box. All default setting except for these two files. php.ini and sendmail.ini
