PHP Pear Mail use with mail.nfoservers.com

[akincer]

Hopefully someone out there can tell me what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. I'm attempting to use PHP Pear Mail to send email using an email account hosted on NFO servers.

The short short version is that setting auth to true causes a TLS error. Turning it off allows me to send email, but only to OUR domain. As soon as I set a recipient to an external domain (GMail for example), it gives a relay denied error. Here is a snippet of my code (sanitized):

Code: Select all

$emailbody = "email message here";
$emailfrom = 'account username hosted on NFO servers here';
$emailsubject = "email subject here";
$emailto = 'recipient addresses here';
$recipients = $emailto;
$emailpassword = "email password here";
$emailhost = "mail.nfoservers.com";
$emailheaders['From'] = $emailfrom;
$emailheaders['To'] = $emailto;
$emailheaders['Subject'] = $emailsubject;

$smtpinfo["host"] = $emailhost;
$smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["debug"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = $emailfrom;
$smtpinfo["password"] = $emailpassword;

$smtp =& Mail::factory('smtp', $smtpinfo);
$mailresponse = $smtp->send($recipients, $emailheaders, $emailbody);

Here is the response with auth set to true (recipient makes no difference):

Code: Select all

Here is the response with auth set to false and the recipient is a gmail address:

Here is the output with auth set to false and the recipient is the same as the sending account:

My email message here

The message is received just fine in my nfo account inbox but not with the other attempts. Any ideas?

I'm not very familiar with your SMTP client library, but from the looks of it, it is trying to use TLS during the SMTP AUTH process, and that isn't supported. In the short term, if you wish to relay messages through our mail server, you'd need to find a way to specify for it to use plain, unencrypted SMTP AUTH.

I will also see about getting TLS setup on my end.
