Question

At first i have emial [e-mail] and there is another email doesn’t belong to me for example [e-mail] or anything else [e-mail]

IN factories.yml i configured the mailer with the following

mailer:
  class: sfMailer
  param:
    logging:           %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
    charset:           %SF_CHARSET%
    delivery_strategy: realtime
    transport:
      class: Swift_SmtpTransport
      param:
        host:       smtp.localhost.com
        port:       25
        username:   [e-mail]
        password:   123456

In the code … to send an email i use

         $message = Swift_Message::newInstance()->setSubject('sub')->setFrom('[e-mail]')->setTo('[e-mail]');
         sfContext::getInstance()->getMailer()->send($message);

Now i setFrom() —> [e-mail] however i configured the factories.yml with another email [e-mail]!!!!

Finally the sent mail is from [e-mail] which isn’t my email actually

Answer 1

the factories.yml file details the SMTP details

param:
    host:       smtp.localhost.com
    port:       25
    username:   [e-mail]
    password:   123456

Here the username is the username used for logging onto the smtp server. Not the email address the email will be sent from.

This line

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
                  ->setSubject('sub')
                  ->setFrom('[e-mail]')

determines the from address of the email.

See the docs for swift mailer for the methods
