Setting up ubuntu to send mail from PHPMailer

Question

I have a small server, inside the company where I work, which has an app that needs to send email to notify users for different reasons.

I'm using PHPMailer to do this. But as I suspected, I need to configure something. And by something I mean probably an SMPT or iMAP or I don't really know what to do. Anyone knows what can I do to send mail with PHPMailer?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

You guess right, you have to configure something as stated in the Readme :

The PHP mail() function usually sends via a local mail server, typically fronted by a sendmail binary on Linux, BSD and OS X platforms

You should install and configure sendmail, but how to do this would be a full other question.

However you could find this interesting.
