Symfony sfMail not delivering emails

Question

Hi,

somehow sfMail doesn't want to send emails and I can't find the reaseon why. send() simply returns 0, here is my code:

$message = $this->getMailer()->compose("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "test", "testing");
echo $this->getMailer()->send($message);

factories.yml:

all:
  mailer:
    class: sfMailer
    param:
    logging:           %SF_LOGGING_ENABLED%
    charset:           %SF_CHARSET%
    delivery_strategy: realtime
    transport:
      class: Swift_SmtpTransport
      param:
        host:       smtp.email.com
        port:       25
        encryption: ~
        username:   [email protected]
        password:   mytestpass

and I simply get "0" as result. Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: in my Apache log I found this: "sendmail: Cannot open mail:25", I'm 100% sure that my smtp server is working just fine...

First of all in your params you have a host named smtp.email.com .. I don't think that is a legit host of yours. What Swift_SmtpTransport does is connects with the host and tries to send an e-mail with it's help via smtp. So be sure to get a proper SMTP configuration params from you server. The host and the port are important
