SMTP Email having problem with Gmail/TLS connection

PHP Code:

$cfg = [
    'protocol'     => 'smtp',
    'smtp_host'    => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
    'smtp_port'    => '465',
    'smtp_user'    => '[email protected]',
    'smtp_pass'    => 'MyDumbPassword123',
    'smtp_timeout' => '30',
]; 


This works for me, all the time.

You might need to go into gmail settings and tell them to allow all email from the app. Some kind of "untrusted app" setting.

Your email not always going through is a good reason to implement a custom mail queue. You can always resend an email if it is in the queue.
