Can anyone suggest and guide me through please ?? <? $to = "aaaaaa@gmail.com"; $subject = "Test mail"; $message = "Hello! This is a simple email message."; $from = "nnnnnn@gmail.com"; $headers = "From: $from"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); echo "Mail Sent."; ?> I used this program. It shows message sent.

JonnoTheDev Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 You will not be able to use php's mail function. It cannot connect to a SMTP server that requires authentication as this cannot be set within your ini file. Since it is a local pc you have no mail transfer agent (mta). Download and use the swiftmailer libraries http://swiftmailer.org/ since you can configure a SMTP server. Read the docs on usage.
