How can i send a mail using SMTP?

[arvato]

Hello,

I'm trying to send a mail using SMTP but
i can't. How can i do it? Can you tell me
the steps to follow?

I use a class (smtp.php) that i
downloaded from
http://phpclasses.adresseinternet.com/browse.html/package/14.htmland i try to do the example that shows how
use it and it didn't work. In the example
you only have to said the smtp server's
name, the port, your username and the
password.

I think that i need to authentificate myself when i try to access to the
server, but i don't know how.

I can't find the way. 🙁(

Heeeeeeelp meeeee!!!!

Thanks.

Which type of server are you using?

First, thanks to response.

I try to connect to a smtp server.
I try to connect to the yahoo smtp server.
smtp.correo.yahoo.es

I have an account in Yahoo mail and i
want to send mails througt its smtp
server.

The class that i use has a field for the
username and a field for the password,
i write my user and passw and it doesn't
work.

I don't think that you can relay on yahoo smtp server. You need to do it localy.

It may be possible to send it through using the sockets approach...

<?php 
$smtp_server = "SMTP server IP"; 
$port = 25; 
$mydomain = "server IP"; 
$sender = "[e-mail]"; 
$subject = "Enter Subject"; 
$handle = fsockopen($smtp_server,$port); 
if($handle) 
{ 
	fputs($handle, "EHLO $mydomain\r\n"); 
	$info=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	// Send out the e-mail 
	fputs($handle, "MAIL FROM:$sender\r\n");
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "RCPT TO:$recipient\r\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "RCPT TO:[e-mail]\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "DATA\r\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "To: $recipient\r\n");
	$now=date("D d/m/y H:i:s"); 
	fputs($handle, "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "From:Me<[e-mail]>\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "Date:$now\r\n");
	fputs($handle, "Subject:$subject\r\n\r\n"); 
	fputs($handle, "$content"); 
	fputs($handle, "\r\n.\r\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100);
	fputs($handle, "QUIT\n"); 
	$info .=fgets($handle,100); 
	sleep(5); 
	fclose($handle); 
} 
else 
echo "Failed to open socket!"; 
?> 

Might have more success...
