Not able to send mail using YiiMailer - yii

Question

I am trying to send a mail using YiiMailer Extension, when I used Port 465 getting error "fwrite(): send of 16 bytes failed with errno=10054 An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" and when I used port 587 its fails to send a mail.
Code:
In controller:
$mail = new YiiMailer();
$mail->setData(array('message' => 'Message to send', 'name' => 'John Doe', 'description' => 'Contact form', 'mail' => $mail));
$mail->setFrom('abc#gmail.com', 'John Doe');
$mail->setTo($_POST['UserLogin']['email']);
$mail->setSubject('Reser Password');
$mail->setBody('Simple message');
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "*******#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "********";
if ($mail->send()) {
Yii::app()->user->setFlash('contact','Thank you for contacting us. We will respond to you as soon as possible.');
Yii::log("Mail sent");
} else {
Yii::app()->user->setFlash('error','Error while sending email: '.$mail->getError());
Yii::log("Mail Error");
}
}
In main.php
'import'=>array(
'application.models.*',
'application.components.*',
'ext.YiiMailer.YiiMailer',
),
Please help me to come out of this problem and I tried other extension too like Emailer, PHPMailer but there i got some SMTP error "smtp unable to connect to the remote server"
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I am guessing you do not have php_openssl enabled in your server's php.ini. Check phpinfo() to make sure you have it enabled.
Also you may need to add the lines
$mail->SMTPSecure='ssl';
$mail->Mailer='smtps';

This works for me!
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure= 'tls';
$mail->Username = "*******#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "********";
