andrewgauger Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 So I have attempted to send email and it always gets sent to the junk mail. I have investigated getting an SPF record and the host will not let me modify DNS settings without upgrading to a premium account, and I am looking for alternatives. I have tried Pear:SMTP but pear is not offered at this particular host. I don't need to use them (000webhost) and I would use a different host but hosts do not advertise what they do not offer. Does anyone recomend a solution that will deliver email for smtp without the spf record (I'm not counting on this one), an alternative mail package (PEAR is not installed, and no way to install packages on this free host), a relay agent that I could maybe SOAP the message to, or a host that you have used that doesn't charge and offers: PHP 5.2 (or .3) MySQL subdomain (I would rather not use www.host.com/mypage) mail() (or Pear) SPF records. (DNS TXT) (or Pear) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/198823-email-sending-alternates/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You can easily install PEAR packages within your hosting manually. Just upload all the required files and put them on your include_path using .htaccess.

teamatomic Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You could get a gmail account then use PHPmailer and google as the SMTP. HTH Teamatomic Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/198823-email-sending-alternates/#findComment-1043597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewgauger Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yeah, I remember something on the forums about linking a gmail account but I couldn't seem to find it, thanks. I uploaded PEAR and the admins disabled my account, apparently PEAR isn't allowed. Looks like I need a new host anyway now.
