    Is this still relevant with Mercury included (ApacheFriends XAMPP 1.8.2)? I would think yes, but if there are people preferring Mercury, please indicate below. :) Thanks!

You can send mail from localhost with sendmail package , sendmail package is inbuild in XAMPP.
So if you are using XAMPP then you can easily send mail from localhost.



for example you can configure C:xamppphpphp.ini and c:xamppsendmailsendmail.ini for gmail to send mail.



in C:xamppphpphp.ini find extension=php_openssl.dll and remove the semicolon from the beginning of that line to make SSL working for gmail for localhost.



in php.ini file find [mail function] and change



SMTP=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
sendmail_from = my-gmail-id@gmail.com
sendmail_path = ""C:xamppsendmailsendmail.exe" -t"


Now Open C:xamppsendmailsendmail.ini. Replace all the existing code in sendmail.ini with following code



[sendmail]

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log
auth_username=my-gmail-id@gmail.com
auth_password=my-gmail-password
force_sender=my-gmail-id@gmail.com


Now you have done!! create php file with mail function and send mail from localhost.



PS: don't forgot to replace my-gmail-id and my-gmail-password in above code.
Also, don't forget to remove duplicate keys if you copied settings from above. For example comment following line if there is another sendmail_path : sendmail_path="C:xamppmailtodiskmailtodisk.exe" in the php.ini file



Also remember to restart the server using the XAMMP control panel so the changes take effect.



For gmail please check https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 to allow access from less secure apps.




To send email on Linux (with sendmail package) through Gmail from
localhost please check PHP+Ubuntu Send email using gmail form
localhost.

    I had to upgrade from XAMMP 1.7.7 to 2.8.2.3 -- sendmail is included in the newer XAMPP. I tried using a newer sendmail with 1.7.7 a few months ago and couldn't get it to work -- finally bit the bullet and used the new XAMPP and it works as described.

In XAMPP v3.2.1 for testing purposes you can see the emails that the XAMPP sends in XAMPP/mailoutput. In my case on Windows 8 this did not require any additional configuration and was a simple solution to testing email






share|improve this answer
























  • And if this isn't working, check your c:xamppphpphp.ini, look for [mail function], and uncomment the line that mentions mailtodisk.exe. Keep every other line in this section commented out except for the mail.add_x_header one.

    As an addemdum to my comment above, for the more recent versions of XAMPP, you may need to manually add the mailtodisk line. It should look something like this: sendmail_path="C:xamppmailtodiskmailtodisk.exe"

    – Tim Malone
    Nov 16 '16 at 21:46











  • An additional addendum to comment from @TimMalone. I found that mail would only be written to XAMPP/mailoutput if running XAMPP as admin

    – sohail
    Apr 10 '18 at 16:02











  • @sohail: You don't have to run XAMPP as admin but you have to give permission for all users to write to the folder XAMPP/mailoutput (right click on folder > security > all users > edit permissions > full access)

Its very simple to send emails on localhost or local server



Note: I am using the test mail server software on Windows 7 64bit with Xampp installed



Just download test mail server tool and install according to the instruction given on its website Test Mail Server Tool



Now you need to change only two lines under php.ini file




  1. Find [mail function] and remove semi colon which is before ;smtp = localhost

  2. Put the semi colon before sendmail_path = "C:xamppmailtodiskmailtodisk.exe"


You don't need to change anything else, but if you still not getting emails than check for the SMTP port, the port number must be same.



The above method is for default settings provided by the Xampp software.

You have to configure SMTP on your server. You can use G Suite SMTP by Google for free:



<?php

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

// Send mail using Gmail
if($send_using_gmail){
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "your-gmail-account@gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "your-gmail-password"; // GMAIL password
}

// Typical mail data
$mail->AddAddress($email, $name);
$mail->SetFrom($email_from, $name_from);
$mail->Subject = "My Subject";
$mail->Body = "Mail contents";

try{
$mail->Send();
echo "Success!";
} catch(Exception $e){
// Something went bad
echo "Fail :(";
}

?>

You can test send mail in Your PC without Internet



you should use Papercut this simple application to test send mail. and you don't need to configure anything.



Just run it and try test send mail:



test_sendmail.php



<?php
$to = "somebody@example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "rn" .
"CC: somebodyelse@example.com";

mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>


and you will see this:



enter image description here



I hope you will have a good day.
you can find me on Youtube for more tutorial Piseth Sok



Cheer!

    For people on windows 8 if you want to do this i would really recommend reading this tutorial i found: http://yogeshchaugule.com/blog/2013/configure-sendmail-wamp



    Its not written by me but after slamming my head into a concrete wall for 2,5 hours not getting this to work with the weirdest errors like:




    • Connection timed out.

    • Connection Closed Gracefully.


    I finally found that tutorial were upon installation of https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html and the configuration of Stunnel. It finally worked.






    share|improve this answer
























    • I had the exact same issue (Connection Closed Gracefully) and I was able to fix it by installing stunnel by following the steps mentioned here: digiex.net/guides-reviews/guides-tutorials/application-guides/… with a very slight change, I had to comment the output, debug and socket parameters from stunnel.conf as they were throwing an error.

    If you have an installed copy of xampp latest copy then check this link for complete documentation of sending emails through xampp. You must enable apache before you try to access the below link

      You have to define an SMTP server and a port for this. All except like sending mails from live hosts.



      This is a useful link regarding this.




      NB: The port should be unused. Please take care that, Some
      applications like Skype uses the default ports and there by prevents
      sending mail.

        smtp_port=587
        sendmail_from = my-gmail-id@gmail.com
        sendmail_path = ""C:xamppsendmailsendmail.exe" -t"


        Now Open C:xamppsendmailsendmail.ini. Replace all the existing code in sendmail.ini with following code



        [sendmail]

        smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
        smtp_port=587
        error_logfile=error.log
        debug_logfile=debug.log
        auth_username=my-gmail-id@gmail.com
        auth_password=my-gmail-password
        force_sender=my-gmail-id@gmail.com


        Now you have done!! create php file with mail function and send mail from localhost.



        PS: don't forgot to replace my-gmail-id and my-gmail-password in above code.
        Also, don't forget to remove duplicate keys if you copied settings from above. For example comment following line if there is another sendmail_path : sendmail_path="C:xamppmailtodiskmailtodisk.exe" in the php.ini file



        Also remember to restart the server using the XAMMP control panel so the changes take effect.



        For gmail please check https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 to allow access from less secure apps.




        To send email on Linux (with sendmail package) through Gmail from
        localhost please check PHP+Ubuntu Send email using gmail form
        localhost.

          I had to upgrade from XAMMP 1.7.7 to 2.8.2.3 -- sendmail is included in the newer XAMPP. I tried using a newer sendmail with 1.7.7 a few months ago and couldn't get it to work -- finally bit the bullet and used the new XAMPP and it works as described.

        In XAMPP v3.2.1 for testing purposes you can see the emails that the XAMPP sends in XAMPP/mailoutput. In my case on Windows 8 this did not require any additional configuration and was a simple solution to testing email

        Its very simple to send emails on localhost or local server



        Note: I am using the test mail server software on Windows 7 64bit with Xampp installed



        Just download test mail server tool and install according to the instruction given on its website Test Mail Server Tool



        Now you need to change only two lines under php.ini file




        1. Find [mail function] and remove semi colon which is before ;smtp = localhost

        2. Put the semi colon before sendmail_path = "C:xamppmailtodiskmailtodisk.exe"


        You don't need to change anything else, but if you still not getting emails than check for the SMTP port, the port number must be same.



        The above method is for default settings provided by the Xampp software.

        You have to configure SMTP on your server. You can use G Suite SMTP by Google for free:



        <?php

        $mail = new PHPMailer(true);

        // Send mail using Gmail
        if($send_using_gmail){
        $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
        $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
        $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
        $mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server

        if($send_using_gmail){

        $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
        $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
        $mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
        $mail->Username = "your-gmail-account@gmail.com"; // GMAIL username

                For people on windows 8 if you want to do this i would really recommend reading this tutorial i found: http://yogeshchaugule.com/blog/2013/configure-sendmail-wamp



                Its not written by me but after slamming my head into a concrete wall for 2,5 hours not getting this to work with the weirdest errors like:




                • Connection timed out.

                • Connection Closed Gracefully.


                I finally found that tutorial were upon installation of https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html and the configuration of Stunnel. It finally worked.






                share|improve this answer
























                • I had the exact same issue (Connection Closed Gracefully) and I was able to fix it by installing stunnel by following the steps mentioned here: digiex.net/guides-reviews/guides-tutorials/application-guides/… with a very slight change, I had to comment the output, debug and socket parameters from stunnel.conf as they were throwing an error.

                        You have to define an SMTP server and a port for this. All except like sending mails from live hosts.



                        This is a useful link regarding this.




                        NB: The port should be unused. Please take care that, Some
                        applications like Skype uses the default ports and there by prevents
                        sending mail.
