phpmailer

[dugen]

I am using phpmailer to create a script that sends emails containing HTML. I am confused about the SMTP part of the phpmailer. I know the site that the email will be coming from uses qmail. Where do I get the smtp address for qmail? Do i need to have a username and password to put in my script?

Thanks

Let's call your PHPMailer-using script "mailout.php".

If mailout.php is on a server that is running qmail, you do not send email via the SMTP sending-method of PHPMailer. You instead use the sendmail sending-method.

There are a couple of "gothas" about qmail about which you should be aware. Your normal sendmail application will accept a command-line parameter of "-f", which sets a customer sender. qmail does not use this, but instead gets this information from the environment variable QMAILUSER.
