Azu Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I tried using PHP to send email to my users but everyone instantly marked my IP as a spammer and I'm not going to waste time trying to convince them all to whitelist my IP or whatever so please tell me how I can have PHP use my gmail account instead, cause I'm sure that isn't blocked.

gluck Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Well if they have blocked your IP then you can hardly do anything. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/45975-php-email/#findComment-226422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard mail function doesn't support authorisation protocols for sending email from a protected email server. GMail uses SSL which mail() doesn't support. If your email address/ip address is blacklisted then there's not much you can do.

Azu Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Is there some other function or something that I can use then (that DOES support the SSL thingy needed for GMail)? Or am I just out of luck? =/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/45975-php-email/#findComment-228395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Look into imap mail for sending/receiving mail from a protected server. I don't know whether this may help but have a search for PHPMailer Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/45975-php-email/#findComment-228802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neel_basu Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Use another ones SMTP Server to send the mail http://zigmoyd.sourceforge.net/man/mail.php#mail You have to set up your setup_mail.php to do this. I would preffer using bluebottle.com's email account to do this job. as it has been testing with bluebottle.com address.
