Sending mails in PHP using Yahoo SMTP

Question

How can I send an email via Yahoo!\'s SMTP servers in PHP?

Answer 1

You should use something like Swift Mailer or PHPMailer. The following example is for Swift:

$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
  ->setSubject('Your subject')
  ->setFrom(array('john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'))
  ->setTo(array('receiver@domain.org', 'other@domain.org' => 'A name'))
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself')
  ->addPart('Here is the message itself', 'text/html')
;

$transport = Swift_SmtpTransport::newInstance('smtp.mail.yahoo.com', 465, 'ssl')
  ->setUsername('your username')
  ->setPassword('your password')
;

$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);

$result = $mailer->send($message);
