Swift mail and Symfony ([Connection refused #111])

I am getting this error when I try to send an em开发者_运维知识库ail using the Symfony framework. I had this problem a while back and rember (vaguely), that I had to change my php.ini settings and match them to my /app/config/factories.yml to get it to work.

Unfortunately, I had to rebuild my machine recently, and mail has now stopped working - and unfortunately, I can't remember what I did the last time to get ot to work.

Here is a snippet of the contents of my app/config/factories.yml file:

all:
  mailer:
    class: sfMailer
    param:
      logging:           %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
      charset:           %SF_CHARSET%
      delivery_strategy: realtime
      transport:
        class: Swift_SmtpTransport
        param:
          host:       localhost
          port:       25
          encryption: ~
          username:   ~
          password:   ~ 

Note: The indentaion above may be wrong due to being pasted in this console - don't get side tracked by that. The YML is fine on my machine.

This is the logged error message when I try to send an email:

I've always put like and always have worked; I simply do not use localhost smtp service.

all:
  mailer:
    param:
      transport:
        class: Swift_SmtpTransport
        param:
          host:       smtp.gmail.com
          port:       465
          encryption: ssl
          username: "xxx@gmail.com"
          password: xxx-password

The problem could be that you do not have disabled the mail sent in development environment. You have to complete your config_dev.yml like this:

imports:
    - { resource: config.yml }

framework:
    router:   { resource: "%kernel.root_dir%/config/routing_dev.yml" }
    profiler: { only_exceptions: false }

web_profiler:
    toolbar: true
    intercept_redirects: true

monolog:
    handlers:
        main:
            type:  stream
            path:  %kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log
            level: debug
        firephp:
            type:  firephp
            level: info

assetic:
    use_controller: true

swiftmailer:
    disable_delivery: true

You have to set:

• disable_delivery: true (not send email)
• intercept_redirects: true (if you want to see the email in your debug bar)

I had same error on my hosting provider. I have fixed it by editing factories.yml indentation. Also check your username/password values.
