swiftmailer send email using gmail with custom domain

swiftmailer, symfony

Solution

The configuration for sending from (what I assume is) a Google Apps account differs from a Gmail account. Your swiftmailer parameters should look something like this:

mailer_transport:  smtp
mailer_host:       smtp.gmail.com
mailer_user:       myname@abc.com
mailer_password:   pymass
auth_mode:         login
port:              587
encryption:        tls

Make sure to include your entire email address as well as the port and encryption protocol.

I derived the solution from this article a few months back.

Also, a small note: its `encryption` not `mailer_encyption`. You can read more about the swiftmailer parameters for Symfony here.

Problem

In symfony2.3 I am using swiftmailer. I have a Google Apps address like myname@abc.com and my normal gmail address myname@gmail.com When using: ``` mailer_transport: smtp mailer_encryption: ssl auth_mode: login mailer_host: smtp.gmail.com mailer_user: myname mailer_password: pymass ``` the configuration works great and it sends emails from my gmail address but using myname@abc.com as mailer_user with correct password doesn't work. Any ideas?
