Codeigniter email function and Justhost SMTP - El Forum - 02-12-2013

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I had somebody build me a site using PHP and Codeigniter framework.On the test server everything was working properly, but now, once the site is transfered on Justhost, email function doesnt work.At first i tought i didnt used the correct SMTP settings, but they are fine (support took a look).

Basically, owner can put his property on the site (like this:http://goo.gl/AZcrj), and when the visitor fills the contact form on the bottom, email is sent to owners email address, and the he can reply to the visitors email.

First time i used Justhost SMTP settings and tested it, email was sent.But from that point, till now, i always get an error when i try to send message via contact form.I even tried using Gmail SMTP settings, same thing happens :\

Here is the code (currently with Gmail SMTP), does anybody have any clue? Btw, im a PHP rookie, so i dont know much, but i did my best to explain.
Code:
public function send_mail($res)
    {
        $this->load->library('email');
        $config['protocol']    = 'smtp';
        $config['smtp_host']    = 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com';
        $config['smtp_port']    = '465';
        $config['smtp_timeout'] = '7';
        $config['smtp_user']    = '[email protected]';
        $config['smtp_pass']    = 'aaaaaaaaaa';
        $config['charset']    = 'utf-8';
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html'; // or html


        $this->email->initialize($config);

        $this->email->from($res['sender_email'], $res['sender_name']);
        $this->email->to($res['reciever']);
        $this->email->reply_to($res['sender_email'], $res['sender_name']);

        $this->email->subject('Email from site.');
        $this->email->message($res['message']);

        if($this->email->send()) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
        //configure mail agent...
    }

    private function get_email_address($email)
    {
        $this->load->model('main_model');
        $email = $this->main_model->get_email($email);
        return $email;
    }

    public function get_email_message()
    {
        //only ajax requests are allowed
        if(!$this->input->is_ajax_request()) {
            die();
        }
        $res['message'] = $this->input->post('message');
        $res['reciever'] = $this->input->post('receiver');
        $res['sender_name'] = $this->input->post('sender_name');
        $res['sender_email'] = $this->input->post('sender_email');

        $res['reciever'] = $this->get_email_address($res['reciever']);

        $res = $this->send_mail($res);
        $this->output->set_content_type('application/json')->set_output(json_encode($res));
    }
