Question

So I am trying to setup swift mailer to work with the Mandrill API, but it keeps throwing the following error:

Failures:Array ( [0] => [e-mail] ) (I have a proper email in this place in my code)

My code is as follows:

        $subject = 'Hello from Mandrill, PHP!';
    // approved domains only!
    $from = array('[e-mail]' =>'Your Name');
    $to = array(
     '[e-mail]'  => 'Recipient1 Name'
    );

    $text = "Mandrill speaks plaintext";
    $html = "Mandrill speaks HTML";

    $transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.mandrillapp.com', 587);
    $transport->setUsername(getenv('[e-mail]'));
    $transport->setPassword(getenv('mymandrillpass'));
    $swift = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

    $message = new Swift_Message($subject);
    $message->setFrom($from);
    $message->setBody($html, 'text/html');
    $message->setTo($to);
    $message->addPart($text, 'text/plain');

    // Pass a variable name to the send() method
    if (!$swift->send($message, $failures))
    {
      echo "Failures:";
      print_r($failures);
    }

What is going wrong?

Answer 1

Try using SSL and port 465.

$xport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.mandrillapp.com', 465, 'ssl');
$xport->setUsername('mandrilluser')
      ->setPassword('mandrillpass');

See if this works for you.
