How to send mails from your PC? 5 min setup

Locate php.ini which should exist on following path. I am assuming that you had installed Xampp on C drive.
C:\\php\php.ini C:\ \php\php5.ini C:\ \apache\bin\php.ini
Editing php.ini:
- Open php.ini file and uncomment the php_smtp.dll extension. This is required when sending emails to a remote server.
- Scroll down and find the following lines:
[mail function] ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = localhost ;smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = me@example.com
- From the lines above, uncomment SMTP, smtp_port and sendmail_from
directives, then add SMTP server, SMTP port number and your preferred email address to SMTP, smtp_port and sendmail_from directives respectively, your final code should be similar to the one below:
[mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = mail.server.com smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = something@server.com
- Replace mail.server.com and something@server.com with correct values. The default
- Restart your server. That you can do from xampp controller.
Now you just need some application that can send e-mail from your PC. You can use wordpress for the same.
