Answer 1

Why don't you use CakePHP's default functionality?

Answer 2

In the past I used SwiftMailer: http://swiftmailer.org/ It's an excellent, flexible and well documented component with a cakephp component available in the bakery: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/swiftmailer-component-tutorial

Now, though, I usually use the CakePHP core component.
