cpd Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 This may come across as a stupid question with a simple answer of no but id just like to make sure. Is it possible to send an email out via the "localhost" when using apache off your laptop/computer and if so how do you configure it?

premiso Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 If you have an SMTP server, yes. If not no. Look up SMTP servers and see if you want to try it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/135811-mail-on-localhost/#findComment-707825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 You can install a mail server, but in order for this to actually send mail and for that mail to be accepted by receiving mail servers, your ISP must not be blocking it and you must have a domain name that points to a properly configured DNS server with all the necessary DNS records that would get the receiving mail server to recognize your mail server as a valid public mail server authorized to send emails for the domain in the From: address. Short answer - you cannot just install a mail server and send emails. You must have a properly configured, valid, public mail server.
