Question

I’m having trouble getting the Codeigniter email library working on a new server.

This code has previously worked before but has recently stopped working and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Essentially, here is the code:

 $this->email->from('[e-mail]', 'Intranet');
 $this->email->to($c['email']);//This is def a valid email

 //$name is being obtained from elsewhere

 $this->email->subject('Time manager reminder');
 $this->email->message("
   {$name[0]},
   <br/><br/>You haven’t completed your time for today. Please don’t forget to do so<br/><br/>
   Intranet
  ");

 $this->email->send();

And the email.php config password

$config['mailtype'] = "html";
$config['priority'] = 1;
$config['protocol'] = "smtp";

$config['smtp_host'] = "my server..";
$config['smtp_user'] = "u/n";
$config['smtp_pass'] = "p/w";

$config['smtp_timeout'] = 1;
$config['validate'] = true;

The error I receive from $this->email->print_debugger(); is as follows:

data: 354 End data with .

The following SMTP error was encountered: 
Unable to send email using PHP SMTP. Your server might not be configured to send mail using this   method.

You can view the full error on pastebin here http://pastebin.com/y9UeaEGY

I’ve crossed out the emails in all places, but I can assure you they are valid and used email addresses.

I’d appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks

I figured out the reason. Apparently, in the config, you need to set

$config['crlf']     = "\r\n";
$config['newline']  = "\r\n";

manually in the email.php file. Codeigniter doesn’t seem to do it by default. Odd 🙂
