Use external SMTP server (like google apps) to send email

Is it possible to configure an external SMTP server to route all of
your outgoing mail through on Linux?

I know in php.ini there is a parameter, but it says its only for
windows? Can I do this on Linux?

Yes, but that has to be done by your MTA. The Windows parameter is only
to connect to an external MTA.

Gmail SMTP server requires establishing TLS secure connections to port
995, which is something the mail function does not support.

You can try using the smtp_mail() function which is a replacement for
the mail() function that can be configured to route messages via the
Gmail SMTP server:

http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

You also need this other class to deliver the messages

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

and this for authenticating:

Not exactly, but you can always use an SMTP client library; take a
look at phpMailer:

http://phpMailer.sf.net/

Hi, I'm trying to setup PHP so it will use a remote SMTP server. I'm going to sound like a newbie but how? I know you need to alter php.ini, change SMTP from localhost to the SMTP server and the address to the correct one but I wondered about passwords? Outlook Express needs a password so how would I do it. Unless anyone has any other suggestions/tutorials. Oh and just so you know my port 25 is blocked by ISP, I think that limits my...

In my Win app I found that using the SMTP object doesn't release resources after closing the application. During testing I have to open and close the app many times and I found that after about three times it locks up when I call the Send() method and returns the error "Could not access CDO.Message Object". I found that if I create a new Win App and copy and paste the code into it, then it runs fine for the first couple of times and then starts...

Hi, I just want to send a very simple email from within python. I think the standard module of smtpd in python can do this, but I haven't found documents about how to use it after googleing. Are there any examples of using smtpd ? I'm not an expert,so I need some examples to learn how to use it. Or maybe there is a better way to to this?
