Cakephp SMTP电子邮件不起作用

Question

I'm using Cakephp 2.6, I have configured smtp settings as follows in email.php,

 public $smtp = array(
    'transport' => 'Smtp',
    'from' => array('support@mywebsite.com'=> 'MYWEBSITE'),
    'host' => 'hostingserver',
    'port' => 587,
    'username' => 'username',
    'password' => 'password',
    'client' => null,
    'log' => false,
    'ssl' => array(
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
            'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
);

In Controllerfunction

    $email = "myemail";
    $Email = new CakeEmail("smtp");
    $Email->helpers('Html', 'Form', 'Text');
    $Email->emailFormat('html')
            ->subject('SUB: Notification')
            ->to($email)
            ->from('fromemail', 'MYWEBSITE')
            ->send('My message');

This is the ERROR I'm getting,

Internal error occured

Stack Trace

Where I'm missing configuration, any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

The problem occurs because the SSL verification goes wrong - as the error message indicates. Ideally, you should set up the SSL certificate, but you can disable ssl certificate verification as an alternative, although this is less secure.

You tried to disable ssl by adding the ssl array directly, but as this post points out, the ssl array needs to be wrapped in the context array like this:

'context'=>array(
    'ssl' => array( 
        'verify_peer' => false,
        'verify_peer_name' => false,
        'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
)

That fixed the problem for me.
