phpmailer / sendmail returning error "Connection reset by peer"


I'm trying to run phpmailer/sendmail from localhost with a gmail account. I use XAMPP.

I use the template from http://www.html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-registration-form.html

I try since few weeks now but still did not manage to make it work. Do you have an idea from the following logs ?

I'm a beginner so feel free to ask me if you need further data. Thanks

php.ini

[mail function]
 smtp=smtp.gmail.com
 smtp_port = 587

; For Win32 only.
 sendmail_from = email@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
mail.add_x_header=Off

Solution

  • Downloading the latest version was the solution! I simply put the smtp port to 587 for using with gmail.(Solution suggested by Synchro ;)

    Working with an up-to-date version is indeed a good start.
