Swift_TransportException无法使用共享主机上的2个可能的身份验证器使用用户名email@domain.com在SMTP服务器上进行身份验证

Question

I'm develop a website using Laravel 4.1. I config my email system and send email successfully on built-in server localhost:8000. But when I host the web on a shared hosting, it always tell: Swift_TransportException Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "email@domain.com" using 2 possible authenticators I don't know what the reason is? I've search on this site but no solution works.

return array(

    'driver' => 'smtp',

    'host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',

    'port' => 587,

    'from' => array('address' => 'email@gmail.com', 'name' => 'Test email'),

    'encryption' => 'ssl',

    'username' => 'your_gmail_username',

    'password' => 'your_gmail_password',

    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',

    'pretend' => false,

);

I also used my our domain's email but it doesn't work neither. Hope for help.

Answer 1

In my case, I had a Cpanel dedicated server. My host informed me that exim mail server was failing and restarting a couple times a day.

It looked like all connection threads were being used up and then locked until it restarts.

My host added another 100 connection threads to the pool. Most probably this help you as well.
