Problem with using PHPMailer for SMTP
- by Frozenfire
I have used PHPMailer for SMTP and there is problem in sending mail with error "Mailer Error: The following From address failed: [email protected]"
My code is as follows:
        $mail = new PHPMailer();
        $mail->IsSMTP();                                   // send via SMTP
        $mail->Host = "localhost;"; // SMTP servers
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;     // turn on SMTP authentication
        $mail->Username = "";  // SMTP username
        $mail->Password = ""; // SMTP password
        $mail->From = $email_address;
        $mail->FromName = $email_address;
        $mail->AddAddress($arrStudent[0]["email"]);
        $mail->WordWrap = 50;                              // set word wrap
        $mail->IsHTML(true);                               // send as HTML
        $mail->Subject = "Subject";
        $theData = str_replace("\n", "<BR>", $stuff);
        $mail->Body = $theData; // "This is the <b>HTML body</b>";
        $mail->AltBody = $stuff;
        if (!$mail->Send()) {
            $sent = 0;
            echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
            exit;
        }
i researched everything and when i debug inside class.smtp.php i found error the function "get_lines()" is returning error value "550 Authentication failed"
The code was working fine previously, i am wondering how this problem came suddenly.
Desperate for some help. 
Thanks,
