PHPmailer without using SMTP

Question

I\'ve added the PHPMailer folder to my root folder on my web server and I just get an error that has to do with SMTP.

Is there a way to use PHPMailer without needing to

Answer 1

Joseph Kreifels II is correct.

In particular, see the comments in the class.phpmailer.php file:

/**
 * Sets Mailer to send message using SMTP.
 * @return void
 */
public function IsSMTP() {
   $this->Mailer = 'smtp';
}

/**
 * Sets Mailer to send message using PHP mail() function.
 * @return void
 */
public function IsMail() {
  $this->Mailer = 'mail';
}

/**
 * Sets Mailer to send message using the $Sendmail program.
 * @return void
 */
public function IsSendmail() {
  if (!stristr(ini_get('sendmail_path'), 'sendmail')) {
    $this->Sendmail = '/var/qmail/bin/sendmail';
  }
  $this->Mailer = 'sendmail';
}

So, be sure to remove $mail->IsSMTP(); from your settings, but also you may need to add $mail->IsMail(); or $mail->IsSendmail(); depending on your server setup.
