Configuration to send Email with Symfony herberged on OVH - symfony

Question

I am trying to send email with my Symfony Application. My goal is to send the emails either with a gmail account or from the server's email account.
After some research I succed to send emails from my local server wamp. The configuration is the following :
swiftmailer:
transport: %mailer_transport%
encryption: %mailer_encryption%
auth_mode: %mailer_auth_mode%
host: %mailer_host%
username: %mailer_user%
password: %mailer_password%
spool: { type: memory }
mailer_transport: smtp
mailer_encryption: ssl
mailer_auth_mode: login
mailer_host: smtp.gmail.com
mailer_transport: gmail
mailer_user: myaccount
mailer_password: mypassword
I tried this configuration on my OVH server but it doesn't work. I looked in the OVH server logs but didn't find any error message.
I also tried some configuration with my server email account from my local server WAMP without success.
Here is one example :
swiftmailer:
transport: %mailer_transport%
auth_mode: %mailer_auth_mode%
host: %mailer_host%
port: %mailer_port%
username: %mailer_user%
password: %mailer_password%
spool: { type: memory }
mailer_transport: smtp
mailer_auth_mode: login
mailer_host: smtp.mydomain.be
mailer_port: 587
mailer_user: admin#mydomain.be
mailer_password: mypassword2

The solution is to set your mailer_transport parameter to 'mail' so SwiftMailer will use the default PHP mail() function.
Otherwise, you could specify the transport directly from your controller:
// Mail() transport
$transport = \Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();
// Message
$message = \Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setFrom("me#domain.org", "My Name")
->setTo(array(
"user#domain.org" => "User Name"
))
->setSubject("Solution for sending e-mail from OVH")
->setBody("...", 'text/plain')
;
// My instance of mailer
$mailer = \Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport)
->send($message);
Worked for me on an OVH plan with shared e-mail.
