Does anybody know how phpmailer sents its messages out by default? On *nix, it uses sendmail command/wrapper to send mails by default. You can specify the path to sendmail, port, from etc. in php.ini
I believe it does this via the php function mail. But there can also be a smtp server specified. No. In PHP mail function, you cannot specify server.
Do I have to set up such a server, or is it running by default on suse servers? Linux server distros have mail server. Make sure you have a mail server daemon running.
If I issue a "top" command I do see smtp processes. It would be advisable to use SMTP class found here: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/. This one would allow you use mail server and do many other things you may need.
