I am attempting to set up PHPMailer so that one of our clients is able to have the automatically generated emails come from their own account. I have logged into their Office 365 account, and found that the required settings for PHPMailer are:
Host: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Auth: tls
I have applied these settings to PHPMailer, however no email gets sent (The function I call works fine for our own mail, which is sent from an external server (Not the server serving the web pages)).
"host" => "smtp.office365.com", "port" => 587, "auth" => true, "secure" => "tls", "username" => "clientemail@office365.com", "password" => "clientpass", "to" => "myemail", "from" => "clientemail@office365.com", "fromname" => "clientname", "subject" => $subject, "body" => $body, "altbody" => $body, "message" => "", "debug" => false
Does anyone know what settings are required to get PHPMailer to send via smtp.office365.com?

Answer
@nitin’s code was not working for me, as it was missing ‘tls’ in the SMTPSecure param.
Here is a working version. I’ve also added two commented out lines, which you can use in case something is not working.
<?php require 'vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php'; $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail->isSMTP(); $mail->Host = 'smtp.office365.com'; $mail->Port = 587; $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->Username = 'somebody@somewhere.com'; $mail->Password = 'YourPassword'; $mail->SetFrom('somebody@somewhere.com', 'FromEmail'); $mail->addAddress('recipient@domain.com', 'ToEmail'); //$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; //$mail->Debugoutput = function($str, $level) {echo "debug level $level; message: $str";}; //$mail->Debugoutput = 'echo'; $mail->IsHTML(true); $mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject'; $mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>'; $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients'; if(!$mail->send()) { echo 'Message could not be sent.'; echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo; } else { echo 'Message has been sent'; }
