PHPmailer sending to yahoo address - email

I have set up the PHPmailer to have the To: and From: be the yahoo address (the $webem variable) and added a replyto address to be the actual user (the $FE variable).
I have also set up in yahoo an APP Password.
I tried sending both HTML and plain text emails from the form, but both get rejected.
PHPmailer setup:
$mail->Host = 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = $webem; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $epass; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->From = $webem;
$mail->addAddress($webem); // Add a recipient
$mail->addReplyTo($FE);

How do I resolve the Mailbox unavailable/data not accepted error?

The only way I could get this to work is to remove the replyto address.
I set the from email to the yahoo account that I logged into and the to address to another yahoo account that my client uses.

SMTP relay not working on PHPMailer 6.0.5

I'm using PHPMailer to send email via SMTP relay from my platform to send email. I've configured the authentication and everything, and also successfully sent test emails from the command line mail program on my server.
Initially, I had configured the SMTP relay via Postfix config and aimed to use the PHP mail() function. This was working fine from basic test scripts, but from my platform software, the emails were disappearing, despite the Postfix log saying the mail was relayed out successfully.
I replaced the usage of the mail() function with the latest version of PHPMailer, however the issue persists. I have captured a full log of a test send as an example:

As it shows, PHPMailer successfully connects and authenticates using TLS, sends the email content, signs off without a hitch. However, this (and many other similar examples) don't appear in the SMTP provider's delivery logs. Additionally, I've been told by their customer support that these emails are never hitting their servers. Example response (this response was based on the above log):
Thank you for following up here, I'm afraid we don't have detailed enough logs to provide further information on this. Also, I can't see from the information you provided that we are responding with a message ID, I believe the message ID that appears in your log is generated by PHP Mailer and is not related to Campaign Monitor. I don't believe our server is responding to this attempt to send an email, which would indicate that the problem is with your implementation of PHP Mailer.
As the provider says, the issue here is with PHP Mailer. That doesn't make sense at all to me based on the logs, but I don't know enough to be able to diagnose what's going wrong and why these emails are disappearing. How can I troubleshoot the problem?
This delivery is entirely successful. Any issues after that are not down to your sending code. To find out what happened to the message, you would need to look at the mail logs on smtp.api.createsend.com (which is apparently Campaign Monitor).
PHPMailer creates the Message-ID header, as it should, since it's the responsibility of the MUA, in this case 0JtQSmGxTN2PuNR4zJx5iqS9FyZrLK5gL3zPLHwVCA#localhost, and you could improve this. It's falling back to localhost as the hostname, which suggests PHP on your server is not configured correctly and doesn't know its own hostname. You can either fix that in your PHP config, or set $mail->MessageID yourself (note the pattern that it must match).
The SMTP transaction ID (in this case ODJmM2I5YmEtMzU0My00M2ZjLWE5NzUtNTlkNzNkMjE0N2Ew), which is not the same as the message ID, is created by the receiving server and is usually used for internal tracking by the receiving server.
Incidentally it's the first time I've seen Campaign Monitor's transaction ID pattern, and it's different to others, so I've added it to PHPMailer. You will be able to retrieve it after sending by calling $mail->smtp->getLastTransactionID().

I've searched every where for a solution for this problem, and I found many tips, but without success. I'm using PHPMailer to use external smtp (gmail or sendpulse). I've tried all possible ports, ideas, ... this is the code that I use:
$<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');
require '../PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug = 6;
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Username = "sender#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->setFrom('sender#gmail.com', 'fsender lsender');
$mail->addAddress('receiver#gmail.com', 'freceiver lreceiver');
$mail->Subject = 'PHPMailer SMTP test';
$mail->msgHTML(file_get_contents('mail.txt'), dirname(__FILE__));
$mail->AltBody = 'This is a plain-text message body';
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
Debug:

CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO myaccount.arvixeshared.com<br>
Where in the account where the code works SERVER -> CLIENT (smtp.gmail.com) & CLIENT -> SERVER (localhost):
SERVER -> CLIENT: 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP x29xx4280503xxx.16 - gsmtp<br>

Can someone help me to solve this issue, thanks.

It looks like your ISP is intercepting and redirecting your SMTP traffic to their own server. You are asking to connect to smtp.gmail.com, but it is connecting to myaccount.arvixieshared.com, where of course your credentials do not work.
This is covered in the troubleshooting guide that the error message links to.
It should be failing to connect because the TLS certificates do not match, so you are either using an old PHP version or you have disabled certificate verification, neither of which are a good idea.
After 4 days of chatting with Arvixe support, this is the conclusion:
If it happens and you had a problem with them don't bother yourself, move away. #Synchro, thank you again for your help and your advice that I didn't listen to it (get a better ISP).
This is my last chat with them:

Hitesh N
I am still working on your issue.
3:40:32 PM
aissam
Okay take your time
3:53:15 PM
Hitesh N
May I know when the issue started?
3:55:26 PM
aissam
before about one week
4:03:56 PM
Hitesh N
I am still working on your issue. Sorry for delay.
4:10:43 PM
Hitesh N
Sorry for long delay.
4:11:00 PM
Hitesh N
My tech confirmed that your issue was already escalated the Sysadmins to check further.
4:11:12 PM
Hitesh N
But as there are huge number of tickets, its getting delayed.
4:11:49 PM
Hitesh N
Now, we have again requested them to check further and update you.
4:12:00 PM
Hitesh N
I know we have delayed a lot, sorry for that.
4:13:46 PM
aissam
please don't tell that, smtp is essential, my platform is using it for sending email, now I'm just receiving I can't send, and if I send the messages goes through your smtp server and they are all classified spam
4:14:04 PM
aissam
this is not an issue that need more than one day to be resolved
4:14:29 PM
aissam
why your server is redirect me to localhost and doesn't allow me to connect to external smtp?
4:15:25 PM
Hitesh N
Unfortunately, I don't know the reason behind it as of now.
4:15:41 PM
Hitesh N
Our sysadmins have to check the logs to get more info on it.
4:16:23 PM
Hitesh N
I don't know if its possible, as I don't know about the scripts much.
4:16:33 PM
aissam
move me to another server unit the virtual admin or supervisor that previous three agents told me about will check the issue perhaps in 2030
4:16:50 PM
Hitesh N
But normally for emails sent which are going to spam box, we suggest to add spf record. Is that possible in your scripts?
4:17:18 PM
aissam
I've added spf the same thing always to spam folder
4:17:28 PM
aissam
which scripts you're talking about?
4:17:51 PM
Hitesh N
I meant in your PHP mail function.
4:18:46 PM
aissam
my problem isn't with script, how you can solve my problem if you don't understand it. the three idiot before told that they passed all information to ticket, I think they didn't
4:19:26 PM
Hitesh N
All have passed the ticket to sysadmins but as there are already ticket in sysadmins pool, its taking time.
4:21:46 PM
aissam
my problem isn't with script, my problem is that your server doesn't allow me to connect to external smtp, and keep redirect me to your smtp server when I'm asking to connect to smtp.gmail.com or another smtp server. please update my problem, I don't have problems with scripts, they are just for testing purpose to debug the problem (I've used PHPMail, SwiftMail, PHP+Pear), I'm helping you in debug of problem and you're saying that I have problem with script?
4:22:09 PM
Hitesh N
No, I didn't mean that Aissam. I didn't.
4:22:26 PM
Hitesh N
As I said, I don't know much about the issue, I just referred about adding spf record.
4:22:37 PM
Hitesh N
But as you mentioned, spf record is already present.
4:24:04 PM
aissam
This is very well known problem about emails sending, if you need to be professional use external smtp (special on that domain) and specifically don't use smtp of shared account
4:24:40 PM
aissam
and it's not a problem with you smtp server it's for all ISP
4:24:48 PM
Hitesh N
I have updating all of your inputs in ticket for our sysadmins review. It will be helpful.
4:25:34 PM
aissam
Thank you for your help, but whereis this admin. Am I the only one who have this issue in dallas134
4:25:45 PM
aissam
Is it a global issue?
4:26:27 PM
Hitesh N
I'm not sure Aissam, because as of now we have not received any report of email failure on server: dallas134.arvixeshared.com
4:27:05 PM
Hitesh N
I will ask with my tech, a moment.
4:27:30 PM
aissam
so the problem is only within my account, also I have another problem with it. I can't buy anything until i contact you
4:27:50 PM
aissam
when it's time to generate the invoice I get an error "enter email address"
4:28:30 PM
Hitesh N
I'm sorry for that.
4:29:37 PM
aissam
you don't have an account for testing purpose in this server?
4:30:04 PM
Hitesh N
No.
4:30:54 PM
aissam
what tech said about dallas134?
4:31:32 PM
Hitesh N
There is no known issue on email functionality on server.
4:32:44 PM
aissam
I know that, I can send email using your smtp without problem, ask them about why they are blocking connection to external smtp?
4:36:47 PM
Hitesh N
They confirmed that there is no blocking of connection to external smtp.
4:36:58 PM
Hitesh N
Regarding your issue, we need to check further.
4:39:30 PM
aissam
Honestly, since December 2016, You couldn't fix simple issue which is related to generation of invoices in my account, and whenever I need to buy a domain or simple thing I need to contact you to generate the invoice on behalf of me. how you could solve this complicated issue?
4:40:06 PM
aissam
You have two solutions, to keep ignoring me like you're doing know, or to move me to another account
4:41:18 PM
Hitesh N
The invoice issue is being worked upon from many time as we got update that ISP is also a reason in it.
4:41:23 PM
Hitesh N
Its still ongoing.
4:41:44 PM
Hitesh N
Regarding the issue, we will surely help you.
4:43:05 PM
aissam

What can I do in order to send an email to a outside server using James?
#Leandro Roura Sixto: Hi. Basically the SMTP error code 554 is thrown when the receiver identifies your machine as a source of SPAM or a relay host. This is typically caused by the domain of leo i.e. localhost. Add some meaningful host like gmail or yahoo, you will be able to get through the SPAM Filter of the receiver's mail server/ SMTP.

As you can read in my comments my problem comes from my ISP. Which doesn't allow me to send mail from my server.
I've followed the following tutorial to make Exim4 send mail through Google Mail: http://www.manu-j.com/blog/wordpress-exim4-ubuntu-gmail-smtp/.
Works like a charm.
