not recieving a confirmation email with fosuserbundle

Question

i'm trying to do my first symfony project and i am using the fosuserbundle. It's working perfectly i'm just having a problem with the email confirmation, i'm not receiving anything.

This is my parameters.yml:

parameters:

    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: null
    database_name: mydatabase
    database_user: root
    database_password: null
    mailer_transport: smtp
    mailer_host: 127.0.0.1
    mailer_user: [email protected]
    mailer_password: mypass
    secret: 8c73d1f9bc7f50ce500d4a98a4627ffaa42dc905

this is myconfig.yml:

swiftmailer:

transport: %mailer_transport%
host:      %mailer_host%
username:  %mailer_user%
password:  %mailer_password%
port: "585"
spool:     { type: memory }

fos_user:

db_driver:     orm          
firewall_name: main           
user_class:    OC\UserBundle\Entity\User 
service:
        mailer: fos_user.mailer.twig_swift
registration:
    confirmation:
        enabled:    true
        from_email: 
            address: [email protected]
            sender_name: myname
 service:
    mailer:  fos_user.mailer.twig_swift

please can you help? because i searched on the web and tried but since it's my first project none of the solutions are working with me.

Try with these slight changes in your config.yml:

port: 585
auth_mod: login

The value for the port doesn't need to be enclosed in quotes. I'm not sure if this really makes a difference, but you should follow the conventions.

Since you're using smtp as mailer_transport you have also to specify the authentication mode. Check the documentation for more details: http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/swiftmailer.html

Eventually you'll need another value for the authentication mode.

EDIT (2016-02-19):

Instead of using smtp as mailer_transport you can use the shortcut gmail. Please see this article from the Symfony Cookbook: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/email/gmail.html

Then you can omit the line:

auth_mod: login

This shortcut will set the host to smtp.gmail.com. In your configuration you have the host set to 127.0.0.1. This could eventually be the reason why it works with the web_profiler, but not with the real e-mail address.
