google apps is setup on my server, how do i get php mail() to use it?

Question

Hi, I've got google apps setup on my server with all the correct MX records etc, now i want to start testing it.

• I want to use it for all automated emails (registration, lost password etc).

• I'm testing on a localhost.

Answer 1

You'll probably want to use PEAR Mail, and set it up using the SMTP settings provided to you by Google. I don't believe the built-in mail() command supports TLS, which is required for sending using Google.

Answer 2

Ok, the solution i've found is to use the PHPMailer class found here:
