安装Setting Up Apache HTTPD PHP Webserver with hMailServer

PHP cannot perform SMTP authentication natively using the mail() function. The way I set up my development server is to allow unauthenticated SMTP emails to be sent from the PHP webhost IP address on a non-standard port

Creating a Webhost SMTP Account

Open the Start Menu > hMailServer > hMailServer Administrator
Select localhost > Click Connect
Login with the password set during the installation
Expand Settings > Advanced > IP Ranges
Click the Add... button
Enter PHP Webserver as the Name, set I priority above 50 and enter the PHP Webserver IP in the Lower and Upper IP address fields
Uncheck POP3 and IMAP from the Allow connections options
Uncheck Require SSL/TLS for authentication
Uncheck all boxes under Require SMTP authentication
Click the Save button
Expand Settings > Advanced > TCP/IP Ports
Click the Add... button
Select SMTP from the Protocol dropdown
Enter a non-standard SMTP port (8025) for PHP to communicate on
Set Connection security to None
Click the Save button
Click Yes to restart the hMailServer service

Configuring PHP SMTP Server

Navigate to the PHP installation directory and open php.ini in a text editor
Search for SMTP
Update the following parameters
SMTP = smtp.i12bretro.local
smtp_port = 8025
Optionally, set the mail.log to a file path for logging or syslog to log to the event viewer
- NOTE: If using SSL the certificate authority needs to be trusted by PHP. This can be setup by adding the CA and intermediate CA certs to a .pem file and setting the curl.cainfo value in php.ini
Select File > Save
Restart the Apache or IIS service

Testing PHP Mail() Call

Open a text editor
Create a PHP file with the following code
<?php $to = 'i12bretro@i12bretro.local'; $subject = 'HTML E-Mail from PHP'; $body = '<html><head><title>HTML E-Mail</title></head><body><h3>Check out my other tutorials at <a href="https://youtube.com/channel/UCNmLR_9Ec8NydshHNPnC5Jw">https://youtube.com/channel/UCNmLR_9Ec8NydshHNPnC5Jw</a></h3></body></html>'; $headers[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'; $headers[] = 'From: PHP Webserver <system@i12bretro.local>'; mail($to, $subject, $body, implode("\r\n", $headers)); ?>
