Daniel0 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 You can use an external SMTP server just fine. Just change the relevant settings in php.ini.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 To use an external mail server, you will need to use something like the phpmailer class, which supports SMTP authentication, because the php mail() function does not.

coder500 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 I installed phpmailer. In class.phpmailer.php there is option to enter smtp username and smtp password. I entered them. Also I changed the SMTP line in php.ini file to smtp.worth2read.org(mailserver) of my remote server. But I could not make it to work. Shall I have to change anything else...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Only the php mail() function uses the SMTP setting in php.ini. To use your SMTP server with phpmailer, you need to set the phpmailer host parameter - $mail->Host = "smtp.example.com"; // SMTP server Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123857-wampserver-phpmailer/#findComment-640407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
