php mail function

Question

我被问及php mail（）函数，它是从linux发送的吗？还是取决于源代码所在的位置？

Answer 1

It is sent from your server; if it's Linux, Linux will send it, if it's Windows, Window's will send it. If you want to use a different server to send your mail look into SMTP

Answer 2

See the documentation on mail() .

On Linux, the local sendmail binary is used.

On Windows, where there is no such binary, you need to specify a (local or remote) SMTP server to send out E-Mail (See the "Windows" comments in the documentation.)

For anything more complex - like using SMTP with authentication, or a remote SMTP server, sending out many mails at once, handling attachments etc. there are powerful PHP libraries like Swiftmailer that can totally circumvent the mail() command. It is often a good idea to use one of those from the start.
