Thread: send mail via google smtp using phpmailer

Hi,
I want to send mails using google free smtp on centos 5 from my localhost using script language php.
I was trying to setup sendmail/postfix is it possible?
I have taken static ip for that purpose too.
Please provide setting for those server if possible.
thanx

i think this is not possible, because gmail smtp servers must be encrypted with high security..
they also have anti-spam policies..

I think it should be possible though I can't give you any settings. I say this because I know this can be done in some forums (if you are the admin) if you have a gmail id, using ssl:// as a prefix of the mail server.

You should find something if you search.
