I am using Drupal 7 and the SMTP module. The Gmail (Apps for work) account uses 2 step verification and an app password so that the website can auth using SMTP. Fine so far.
The problem is that the user account, say johndoe#domain.com should not be the from address, but info#domain.com should. info is already a working alias for johndoe.
We must use johndoe to actually authenticate, an alias does not work for this. But, although the from address in debug is info#domain.com, in my mail app the sender still seems to be johndoe#domain.com.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've read that the Google SMTP service overrides the from address with the user account. Even if the from address is an existing alias?
This is really weird.
Please try adding alias email address in gmail.
Open gmail => Setting => Accounts => Send email as: => Add another email address
Gmail will send confirmation code to the alias email. After you add the alias address, gmail smtp will accept "from" parameter with your alias address.
if I understood you, if you want to use the account (johndoe#domain.com) to authenticate, but you do not want it to be shown as a sender, and the sender should be (info#domain.com), then you must follow the following Steps.
It is more than obvious that you must be a GSuite administrator.
First you enable third-party authentication, go to:
Google GSuite Security=>
basic configuration=>
Unsecured applications=>
(click here) Access the settings of unsafe applications=>
Enable access for all users to unsafe applications (not recommended)
Second, in your application for sending mail do this:
Sender Address: info#domain.com
User: johndoe#domain.com
Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465
Encryption: ssl
Password: yourpassowrdaccount

I want to be able to use my Google Workspace email alias when automating email sending using yagmail and gmail's SMTP server.
I have set the default "Send Email As" address from the main email (#gmail.com) to the alias email (#domain.com), which is fine when sending manually. I currently have 2SV enabled with my main email & app password sending emails properly through yagmail, but it still shows the sending address as the main email. I tried authenticating with the email alias and a new app password, but I am receiving the following error:
smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted).
I tried a few solutions found online, such as this one (https://support.google.com/mail/thread/127655543/gmail-alias-not-working-it-says-the-password-i-am-entering-for-the-alias-is-wrong-but-it-s-correct?hl=en), to no avail.
Why is using App password fine for my main email but not my domain alias? How can I automate sending emails using domain alias? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Please Help ...
I debug it and everything looks fine, I configured the SMTP in admin successfully and emails working fine but in case, If we add the same Hosting Domain name, while sending email then It's not working ???
Example: Forgot password not working because URL there but In admin "Marketing => Mail" working, If I do not add domain name. (NOTE: Other domain name working, If I add only opencart3 hosted domain name not working in email)
It looks like not an OpenCart issue, but a hosting configuration. As you said, when you are using same domain name in email, as a site domain - sometimes it's a routing incorrect.
Check an email configuration on your server. When you trying to sent an email to same-domain address - it could be routed as an inner massage. For example, in cPanel hosting settings you should inspect "Mail forwarding" and can check the status of messages in "Track delivery".
If you are using cPanel - go to Mail forwarding, find you domain, and change settins:
Automatically Detect Configuration. - will be set by default.
Local Mail Exchanger. - try this.
Backup Mail Exchanger.
Remote Mail Exchanger. - or this.
Or you can ask you hosting support. Your question will be "I'm trying to use an email address mayaddress#mydomain.com via SMTP on my mydomain.com, but when i try to sent an email to the same address - the message is missing. Can you check email routing settings?"
I'm using Symfony and I'm trying to send an email with swiftmailer. I have an account set up with google app (produccion#mydomain.com) and when I try to send shows me the following error:
Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username
"produccion#mydomain.com" using 2 possible authenticators
I tried it with my personal gmail account and send the message correctly with the same settings. Just change the username and password.
# Swiftmailer Configuration
swiftmailer:
transport: smtp
host: smtp.gmail.com
username: produccion#mydomain.com #email#gmail.com
password: google_app_password #gmail_password
auth_mode: login
port: 587
encryption: tls
I've been searching the internet and I've found this page from Google, where I can change the access to less secure applications.
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
In my gmail account this option is active, but if I turn shows me the same error when sending email.
I've been trying to change this setting in google app account but it tells me that this option is not available for google app.
Any idea to send emails from this account by google app? I have to set something else?
EDIT
It seems Gmail prefers OAuth, Swiftmailer supports this authentication mech but its not really documented.
https://developers.google.com/gmail/xoauth2_protocol
https://github.com/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/blob/5.x/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/Esmtp/Auth/XOAuth2Authenticator.php
Any idea how I use it in Symfony?
Have you tried setting the transport parameter to gmail as mentioned in the cookbook? http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/email/gmail.html
# Swiftmailer Configuration
swiftmailer:
transport: gmail
username: your_gmail_username
password: your_gmail_password
There is lots of posts with users having same error, but none of them works for me...
I am trying to send email reports in Hudson/Jenkins...
Our mail server uses SSL/TLS, I configured Jenkins for TLS, then I am getting this error:
Client does not have permissions to send as this sender
When I try javamail using code, it sends the email properly. Also, Thunderbird works fine.
Any ideas? Do I need to contact mail server administrators?
Finally got it, thanks to Friso
Had to set my email address in System Admin e-mail address under Jenkins Location.
The email should be changed in three places as below as per version 2.19.4:
Extended E-mail Notification - If using SMTP plugin
Email Notification - SMTP Authentication
Jenkins location - System Admin e-mail address
I had the same issue, and I discovered that credentials were no more valid, so I asked to the IT department who told me that credentials were no more need on LAN.
Now it works!
I want to send email in Drupal 7. So, does anyone know how to configure Gmail SMTP on Drupal 7?
Download SMTP module and enable it.
Go to Admin > Configuration > SMTP authentication support and set the following values:
Turn on the module at the Install options fieldset at the top.
SMTP server settings:
smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
smtp backup server: leave blank.
smtp port: 465
use encrypted protocol: select "use SSL"
SMTP authentication:
Enter a valid Gmail email address and password.
Email options:
Set the same email address that you used at SMTP Authentication. Using a different account is called Phishing
Send test email: set an email to receive a sample email.
Enable debugging: yes.
3. Click on submit and verify that the email was submitted and that you received it. If not, read carefully the debug information at the top of the screen. Once satisfied, remember to deactivate the debug checkbox.
Step 1: Download SMTP module and enable it.
Step 2: Go to Admin > Configuration > System > SMTP authentication support and set the following values:
Turn this module on or off: On.
SMTP server settings:
smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
smtp backup server: leave blank.
smtp port: 465
use encrypted protocol: select "use SSL"
SMTP authentication:
Enter a valid Gmail email address and password.
Email options:
Set the same email address that you used at SMTP Authentication.
Send test email: set an email to receive a sample email and to test whether the module is working.
Enable debugging: yes.
Step 2a(Optional): Allow Less Secure Apps Access which is here: http://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Step 3: Click on Save and go to your inbox to check. If there is an testing email then it is fine.
Note: Your email address provided in your smpt setting MUST be the same like in your site information.
I hope SMTP Authentication Support module will help you.
For me, just following the steps in Juampy's answer didn't work. The error "Unable to send mail. Contact site administrator." continued to display. Do the following first and then configure SMTP module as per his answer.
Before installing SMTP module, download PHPMailer and extract it. Rename the folder as 'phpmailer' and copy the folder into module folder of SMTP module. Then, install the SMTP module.
An alternative configuration is as follows:
smtp port: 587
use encrypted protocol: select "use TLS"
This blog entry has some more up-to-date info:

Install and set-up module:
Install the SMTP Authentication Support module in the usual way.
Navigate to the configuration page admin/config/system/smtp
Under Turn this module on or off select On. You can leave Send mail
by queue and Retry sending mail on error. deselected by default, but
selecting them won't affect Gmail.
Under SMTP server enter the following smtp.gmail.com. Leave SMTP
backup server blank
Under SMTP port enter 587
Under Use encrypted protocol select Use TLS
Under SMTP AUTHENTICATION enter a Gmail address and password.
Under E-MAIL OPTIONS use the same Gmail address as you did above and
enter an E-mail from name
Click Save
