What exactly are you trying to do? What is your code and what error did you get with it?

 

For php to be able to send an email, the sending mail server must accept the email. If the sending mail server requires SMTP Authentication, then you will need to provide that. If you attempted to use one of the php mailer classes that supports SMTP authentication and received an error, you would need to post you code and the error for anyone to be able to help you with it.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 556 CLIENT AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED. USE ESMTP EHLO AND AUTH. in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\allinone_form.php on line 44

ok thats the error. i used aol, gmail completly din work. my code is really long and you dont really need 2 see it?

The php mail() function does not support SMTP Authentication. It "looks" like an unauthenticated email client and the only mail servers that will accept email directly from the mail() function are ones which have been configured to "trust" the web server where php is running.

 

To use SMTP Authentication you need to use one of the php mailer classes, such as phpmailer, swiftmailer, or pear:mail.

If you where using Linux I would suggest setting up ssmtp, but it appears your not so....

In your other similar thread ( http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,230269.0.html ) where you attempted to use the gmail server, you were provided with the same information along with a link to the gmail page that shows the setup information you would need to use.

<?php 

 

require("class.phpmailer.php"); 

 

$mail = new PHPMailer(); 

 

$mail->IsSMTP();  // telling the class to use SMTP 

$mail->Host    = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server 

 

$mail->From    = "william.kelsey@gmail.com";

$mail->AddAddress("william.kelsey@gmail.com"); 

 

$mail->Subject  = "First PHPMailer Message"; 

$mail->Body    = "Hi! \n\n This is my first e-mail sent through PHPMailer."; 

$mail->WordWrap = 50; 

 

if(!$mail->Send()) { 

  echo 'Message was not sent.'; 

  echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo; 

} else { 

  echo 'Message has been sent.'; 

} 

?> 

ok you can have fun finding an error (Message was not sent.Mailer error: The following From address failed: william.kelsey@gmail.com ) im going to contact google!

install smtp locally, bounce it off of that. you are trying to relay off of smtp server on internet, good luck.

28rain, you aren't authenticating to the server.  You need:

 

 

$mail->SMTPAuth = true;

$this->Username = 'username';

$this->Password = 'password';

You also need the port setting -

 

$mail->Port      = 465;

 

FYI, in the phpmailer download, docs folder, there is a use_gmail.txt file that shows all the settings you need to use.
