          <p>PHP cannot perform SMTP authentication natively using the mail() function. The way I set up my development server is to allow unauthenticated SMTP emails to be sent from the PHP webhost IP address on a non-standard port</p>

<h2>Creating a Webhost SMTP Account</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Open the Start Menu &gt; hMailServer &gt; hMailServer Administrator</li>
	<li>Select localhost &gt; Click Connect</li>
	<li>Login with the password set during the installation</li>
	<li>Expand Settings &gt; Advanced &gt; IP Ranges</li>
	<li>Click the Add... button</li>
	<li>Enter PHP Webserver as the Name, set I priority above 50 and enter the PHP Webserver IP in the Lower and Upper IP address fields</li>
	<li>Uncheck POP3 and IMAP from the Allow connections options</li>
	<li>Uncheck Require SSL/TLS for authentication</li>
	<li>Uncheck all boxes under Require SMTP authentication</li>
	<li>Click the Save button</li>
	<li>Expand Settings &gt; Advanced &gt; TCP/IP Ports</li>
	<li>Click the Add... button</li>
	<li>Select SMTP from the Protocol dropdown</li>
	<li>Enter a non-standard SMTP port (8025) for PHP to communicate on</li>
	<li>Set Connection security to None</li>
	<li>Click the Save button</li>
	<li>Click Yes to restart the hMailServer service</li>
</ol>

<h2>Configuring PHP SMTP Server</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Navigate to the PHP installation directory and open php.ini in a text editor</li>
	<li>Search for SMTP</li>
	<li>Update the following parameters<br />
	SMTP = smtp.i12bretro.local<br />
	smtp_port = 8025<br />
	Optionally, set the mail.log to a file path for logging or syslog to log to the event viewer
	<ul>
		<li>NOTE: If using SSL the certificate authority needs to be trusted by PHP. This can be setup by adding the CA and intermediate CA certs to a .pem file and setting the curl.cainfo value in php.ini</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Select File &gt; Save</li>
	<li>Restart the Apache or IIS service</li>
</ol>

<h2>Testing PHP Mail() Call</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Open a text editor</li>
	<li>Create a PHP file with the following code<br />
	<textarea>&lt;?php
	&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;$to = &#39;i12bretro@i12bretro.local&#39;;
	&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;$subject = &#39;HTML E-Mail from PHP&#39;;
	&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;$body = &#39;&lt;cke:html&gt;&lt;cke:head&gt;&lt;cke:title&gt;HTML E-Mail&lt;/cke:title&gt;&lt;/cke:head&gt;&lt;cke:body&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Check out my other tutorials at &lt;a  data-cke-saved-href=&quot;https://youtube.com/channel/UCNmLR_9Ec8NydshHNPnC5Jw&quot; href=&quot;https://youtube.com/channel/UCNmLR_9Ec8NydshHNPnC5Jw&quot;&gt;https://youtube.com/channel/UCNmLR_9Ec8NydshHNPnC5Jw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/cke:body&gt;&lt;/cke:html&gt;&#39;;
	&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;$headers[] = &#39;Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&#39;;
	&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;$headers[] = &#39;From: PHP Webserver &lt;system@i12bretro.local&gt;&#39;;

	    mail($to, $subject, $body, implode(&quot;\r\n&quot;, $headers));
?&gt;</textarea></li>
