This isn t on the code parter it s on the server side Contact your Server Manager or fix it from server if you own it If you use CPANEL WHM GO TO WHM SMTP RESTRICTIONS AND DISABLE IT

This happened to me as well  For me  Postfix was located at the same server as the PHP script  and the error was happening when I would be using SMTP authentication and   smtp domain com instead of localhost   So when I commented out these lines     mail- SMTPAuth     true        mail- SMTPSecure    tls    and set the host to    mail- gt Host    localhost     instead    mail- Host     smtp mydomainiuse com    and it worked

strange issue that i solved by comment this line     mail- gt IsSmtp      whit the last phpmailer version  5 2

Exim 4 requires that AUTH command only be sent after the client issued EHLO - attempts to authenticate without EHLO would be rejected  Some mailservers require that EHLO be issued twice  PHPMailer apparently fails to do so  If PHPMailer does not allow you to force EHLO initiation  you really should switch to SwiftMailer 4

that the OpenSSL extension enabled and the directory languages with  br   first checks the data

Check if you have set restrict outgoing SMTP to only some system users  root  MTA  mailman      That restriction may prevent the spammers  but will redirect outgoing SMTP connections to the local mail server

Try adding this    mail- gt SMTPAuth     true   mail- gt SMTPSecure    tls     By looking at your debug logs  you can notice that the failing PhpMailer log shows this      snip    SMTP - gt  ERROR  AUTH not accepted from server  250 orion bommtempo net br Hello admin-teste bommtempo com br  200 155 129 6     snip    503 AUTH command used when not advertised    snip      While your successful PEAR log shows this   DEBUG  Send  STARTTLS DEBUG  Recv  220 TLS go ahead   My guess is that explicitly asking PHPMailer to use TLS will put it on the right track  Also  make sure you re using the latest versin of PHPMailer
