Yii smtp mail sending fails for office365 host - yii

Question

While sending mail from YII, for smtp protocol, it gives below error:
Swift_TransportException: Expected response code 250 but got code "530", with message "530 5.7.57 SMTP; Client was not authenticated to send anonymous mail during MAIL FROM [BM1PR01CA0097.INDPRD01.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM] " in /var/www/html/vvf.kritva.in/protected/extensions/yii-mail/vendors/swiftMailer/classes/Swift/Transport/AbstractSmtpTransport.php:406
Even if port change to 587, it gives same error.
'transportType' => 'smtp',
'transportOptions' => array(
'host'=>'smtp.office365.com',
'username'=>'xyz#xyz.com',
'password'=>'password',
'port'=>'587',
// 'encryption' => 'tls'
),
The code in controller is as below :
$message = new YiiMailMessage;
$message->setBody('Message content here with HTML', 'text/html');
$message->subject = 'xyz';
$message->addTo('xyz#xyz.com');
$message->from = 'xyz#xyz.com';
Yii::app()->mail->send($message);
Please help to rectify this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

So main problem is this line:
$message->from = 'xyz#xyz.com';
You have to change this e-mail address to be exacly same as this registered in office365.com. If you created email called monica#office365.com then you have to put this as from() before sending.

Answer 2

I ran into this issue also, I could send from one account but not another, many times this is due to the fact that the account you are trying to send from is in a protected group, such as, administrators or printers.
