Swiftmailer Configuration In Symfony
Ok, I’m tired of forgetting this and struggling with mailer errors. I need to write this down somewhere.
Default Symfony configuration for SwiftMailer looks like this in app/config/config.yml:
swiftmailer:
transport: "%mailer_transport%"
host: "%mailer_host%"
username: "%mailer_user%"
password: "%mailer_password%"
spool: { type: memory }
The main problem here is absent parameters for encryption and auth_mode. When you need to create encrypted connection with SMTP server you need to add these parameters in two places:
app/config/parameters.yml:
mailer_transport:
smtp mailer_host: smtp.example.org
mailer_port: ~
mailer_user: no-reply@example.org
mailer_password: *
mailer_encryption: ssl
mailer_auth_mode: login
And in app/config/config.yml:
swiftmailer:
transport: %mailer_transport%
host: %mailer_host%
port: %mailer_port%
username: %mailer_user%
encryption: %mailer_encryption%
auth_mode: %mailer_auth_mode%
password: %mailer_password%
spool: { type: memory }
I’m getting myself caught in this trap in every single project I develop on top of Symfony. We need to get better defaults for this shit.
