AAC SMTP not working on LostAccount [MyAAC 0.8.6]

[igorfnunes]

Hello guys, its my first time posting here, because all the issues i usually find some resolution by googling it.
But i'm out of options on making the SMTP in PHPmailer work.
Here is a picture of the issue.

Here is what is written in this "mailer-error.log":

[Mon, 17 Jan 2022 13:59:03 -0300]
The following From address failed: [email protected] : MAIL FROM command failed,Authentication Required. Learn more at

I found out that this "[email protected]" is the email located in "config.local.php" in MyAAC directory.

And here is mine.

<?php
// place for your configuration directives, so you can later easily update myaac
$config['installed'] = true;
$config['env'] = 'prod'; // dev or prod
$config['mail_enabled'] = true;
$config['server_path'] = 'C:/Users/local/Desktop/otservbr-global/';
$config['mail_admin'] = '[email protected]';
$config['mail_address'] = '[B][email protected][/B]';
$config['date_timezone'] = 'America/Sao_Paulo';
$config['client'] = '1272';
$config['anonymous_usage_statistics'] = false;
$config['session_prefix'] = 'myaac_4xz6pgfz_';
$config['cache_prefix'] = 'myaac_7nsmwqyx_';
$config['status_ip'] = '127.0.0.1';

$config['highscores_ids_hidden'] = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

Now i'll post my "config.php" "//mail" section.

Spoiler

    // mail
    'mail_enabled' => false, // is aac maker configured to send e-mails?
    'mail_address' => 'smtp.gmail.com', // server e-mail address (from:)
    'mail_admin' => '[email protected]', // admin email address, where mails from contact form will be sent
    'mail_signature' => array( // signature that will be included at the end of every message sent using _mail function
        'plain' => ""/*"--\nMy Server,\nhttp://www.myserver.com"*/,
        'html' => ''/*'<br/>My Server,\n<a href="http://www.myserver.com">myserver.com</a>'*/
    ),
    'smtp_enabled' => true, // send by smtp or mail function (set false if use mail function, set to true if you use GMail or Microsoft Outlook)
    'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com', // mail host. smtp.gmail.com for GMail / smtp-mail.outlook.com for Microsoft Outlook
    'smtp_port' => 465, // 25 (default) / 465 (ssl, GMail) / 587 (tls, Microsoft Outlook)
    'smtp_auth' => false, // need authorization?
    'smtp_user' => '[B][email protected][/B]', // here your email username
    'smtp_pass' => 'noreplyemailpass',
    'smtp_secure' => 'ssl', // What kind of encryption to use on the SMTP connection. Options: '', 'ssl' (GMail) or 'tls' (Microsoft Outlook)
    'smtp_debug' => false, // set true to debug (you will see more info in error.log)

If someone could save me from this madness i'll would be so pleased, thanks in advance bosses.
I'm not a scripter at all, i'm just trying to build this website for a friend learning from 0, i already did a lot of bug fixes by googling, but in this case, i just cant.

Thanks again for your time buddies!

Guys, i just found out what was wrong, i'm the happiest man alive now.

I'll asnwer here so if someone got the same problem in the future they can make it work.

The MyAAC scripts in 'smtp_enabled' says with his tag: "set false if use mail function"
send by smtp or mail function (set false if use mail function, set to true if you use GMail or Microsoft Outlook)

Which makes you think if i'm not crazy, that if you are using "true" on smtp_enabled, mail function should be "false", but in reality BOTH NEED TO BE TRUE!

The reason i was using 'smtp_auth' as false, its because it was giving a bigger error message saying something about "auth" in the mailer-error.log.


So if you need a config to make this section work as a 2022, MyAAC [0.8.6] Latest version so far, you should pay attention on:
Put "true" on all of this buddies below:

'mail_enabled';
'smtp_auth';
'smtp_enabled'

Remember to allow on the gmail account "less secure apps" or something like that, you can find how to do it easy googlin it
Disable any 2 Factor Authenticators

And thats it, email will be sent, with GMAIL!

Remember that in config.local.php you need to put this gmail adress on:

$config['mail_address'] =

Thats it! Ty for the space here guys!

My Head is on fire :X
