[Solved] Smtp Outgoing Mail Problem

[draftlot]

Hi, some time after May 12, all outgoing SMTP mail from my web app seems to have stopped working.

 

I am on stevie. Here is some test php code (uses PHPMailer):

 

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();

$mail->SMTPAuth = true;

$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';

$mail->SMTPDebug = 3;

//$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';

//$mail->Port = 587;

$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';

$mail->Port = 465;

$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // '74.125.129.108';

$mail->Username = '**********@gmail.com';

$mail->Password = '**********';

 

$mail->Subject = 'TEST subject';

$mail->Body = 'TEST body';

 

$mail->AddAddress("**********@yahoo.com", "name");

$mail->AddReplyTo("**********@yahoo.com", "name");

$mail->Send();

 

Output:

Note I have also tried using a completely different SMTP server, and get authentication errors there too, with or without SSL. Yes I have triple-checked my username and password for BOTH SMTP servers, and once again, everything was working fine prior to May 12. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am having exactly the same issue.

 

I am also on Stevie, also use PHPMailer to send mails via my gmail account.

 

It was working fine until mid May, indeed. I have not changed anything to this php code.

My google account is also working fine with same login credentials.
