In this example, we have shared Sending email with PHP from an SMTP server. When you are sending an e-mail through a server that requires SMTP Auth, you really need to specify it, and set the host, username and password (and maybe the port if it is not the default one – 25).
For example, I usually use PHPMailer with similar settings to this ones:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | $mail = new PHPMailer(); // Settings $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8'; $mail->Host = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server example $mail->SMTPDebug = 0; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing) $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication $mail->Port = 25; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server $mail->Username = "username"; // SMTP account username example $mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP account password example // Content $mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML $mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject'; $mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>'; $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients'; $mail->send(); |
