note 52573 added to ref.mail

sangrios2 at gmail dot com: Gmail smtp uses port 465 instead of port 25. Security through obscurity - I don't know? Anyway, it is like this. Also, Gmail uses TLS (encryption), not sure if the smtp module handles TLS, doubt it. So you will probably have to use another server. You could just use the smtp that runs on your server, there is usually one running. In the good old times you would just use "someone@localhost-or-your-domain-name" and let sendmail sort it out. Always worked fine. However, thanks to this vermin of advertizing agents who kept abusing this in the past to spam people, you are now required to set a MX record in your DNS to the server that runs . Otherwise, no mail server worldwide will accept mail from you :( This can be quite annoying if you don't have access to your MY records. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52573 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52573&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52573&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52573&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52573&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52573&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52573&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
