Unable to send email using PHP SMTP.

Answer 1

Just use "mail" for the 'protocol' array item, and that's all...

$config = array();
        $config['useragent']    = $system_name;
        $config['mailpath']     = "/usr/bin/sendmail"; // or "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
        $config['protocol']     = "mail"; //use 'mail' instead of 'sendmail or smtp'
        $config['smtp_host']    = "your domain name";
        $config['smtp_user']    =  $from;
        $config['smtp_pass']    = "*************";
        $config['smtp_port']    =  465;
        $config['smtp_crypto']  = 'ssl';
        $config['smtp_timeout'] = "";
        $config['mailtype']     = "html";
        $config['charset']      = "utf-8";
        $config['newline']      = "\r\n";
        $config['wordwrap']     = TRUE;
        $config['validate']     = FALSE;
