My email account is [email protected] but I have no idea what SMTP or POP3 server to use. If anyone has any clue, please tell me or correct my code?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 The mail server settings - http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287 Since SMTP Authentication is need (which the php mail() function does not support), you will need to use one of the php mailer classes - http://phpmailer.worxware.com/ or http://swiftmailer.org/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203909-mail-problem/#findComment-1067964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noskiw Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 This really overcomplicates things for me. Is there any way that I could send mail without having to use these ridiculous classes and have to apply them?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Does the host where you are running your php script at provide a mail server and does not require SMTP Authentication? That would be the only way you could use the mail() function. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203909-mail-problem/#findComment-1067973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 You need a public mail server in order to send email to anyone but yourself. If you don't have a public mail server on your system and are using one at an ISP, you must use SMTP Authentication.
