Recommended Posts

Hi All
I need a bit of help
I wrote a script to send mails using the php mail function. This was working fine until the service providers changed their security policies.
The say I must add smtp authentication to my script, is this possible

Appreciate any help

Thanks

If you want to use the mail() function, you have to set sendmail_path pointing to a sendmail program that supports SMTP authentication (probably the one you are currently using does and you have only to configure it).

An other option is using the PHPMailer class which is able to send mails with SMTP authentication independent of PHP's mail function.
