如何配置 XAMPP PHP 通过安全 smtp 我的 ISP 从本地主机发送邮件

Question

For sending email I normaly use Windows 7 Thunderbird with configuring secure SMTP via my ISP (ie login and password for SMTP server). Connection security: none, Password transmited insecurely. Mails are send OK.

I tried configure XAMPP php.ini

[mail function]
SMTP=*my_isp_smtp_server*
smtp_port=25
sendmail_from=*my_email_address*
sendmail_path="\"c:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"
mail.add_x_header = Off

and sendmail.ini

smtp_server=*smtp_server.my.isp*
smtp_port=25
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=*login_to_my_isp_smtp_server*
auth_password=*password_to_my_isp_smtp_server*
force_sender=*my_email_address*

In my php script I use standard php function:

mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);

I get no error message, but mail is not delivered. Please could you help me anyone?

For everyone still struggling with this issue while looking for a solution, using sendmail package, you can configure it to use SMTP secure servers like gmail . For simplicity I will show down below an example using gmail servers, but you can set your own SMTP server using hMailServer . Documentation is availablehere and it uses port 465 for TLS . You just need to change, from the following gmail configuration, the SMTP server , port , address and password . The structure stays the same.

If you want to go for gmail route, as an example, check these parameters here :

Understood so, make the following changes:

In C:\xampp\php\php.ini uncomment extension=php_openssl.dll and restart Apache to add SSL support. Also change these values as in the documentation guide and set sendmail_from accordingly:

SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
sendmail_from = yourgmailaddress@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "\"C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

And in C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini mirror these changes:

[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
auth_username=yourgmailaddress@gmail.com
auth_password=yourgmailpassword
force_sender=yourgmailaddress@gmail.com
