Here's my code. I have tried using 'mail' as protocol, yet still doesn't deliver. But it does get delivered on localhost perfectly and on other servers. But on this particular vps server, it doesn't. Thanks in advance.

$config = array(
        'protocol' => 'smtp',
        'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
        'smtp_port' => 465,
        'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
        'smtp_pass' => '***********',
        'smtp_timeout' => 10,
        'mailtype' => 'html',
        'starttls'  => true,
        'newline'   => "\r\n", 
    );
    $this->load->library('email');
    $this->email->initialize($config);
    $this->email->from($sender);
    $this->email->to($email);
    $this->email->subject($subject);
    $this->email->message($mailToSend);
    $flag = $this->email->send();
    if ($flag) {
        return $flag;
    } else {
        return false;
    }

Remove the

$this->email->initialize($config);

line and let Codeigniter to use it's default parameters. Or use this configs

I got this and it seems to send mail, but the issue with this is it doesn't send to the recipient. Instead, it sends it to the webMail.

$this->load->library('email');
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html';
        $config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';  
        $config['smtp_port'] = '465'; 
        $config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
        $this->email->initialize($config);
        
        
        $this->email->message($mailToSend);
        $this->email->subject($subject);
        $this->email->from($sender);
        $this->email->reply_to("[email protected]");
        $this->email->to($email);
        
       
        // Set recipients
        $this->email->bcc_batch_mode = true;
        $this->email->bcc_batch_size = 50;
        $this->email->bcc("[email protected]);
         
        set_time_limit(0);
        ignore_user_abort(true);
        
        // Send this mailing
        $flag = $this->email->send();
        if ($flag) {
            return $flag;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
