SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================

[](#system-requirements)

Requires SilverStripe ~3.6.0 and PHP 5.6 or later.

COMPONENTS
==========

[](#components)

This package is a optional module for SilverStripe 3.

DESCRIPTION
===========

[](#description)

SilverStripe-Smtp sends emails to your provider's or host's SMTP server instead of using PHP's built-in mail() function and therefore replaces the classic SilverStripe Mailer with [PHPMailer](https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) to send emails via the SMTP protocol to a local or remote SMTP server.

Use cases:

- Disabled mail().
- Troubles with the DNS configuration and the way some mail servers discard emails if the domain names don't match.
- If you want to send encrypted emails (using SSL or TLS protocols).
- Sending emails without having to install a mail server using an external SMTP server instead.
- If you are using AWS and would like to utilize the SES (Simple Email Service).

INSTALLATION
============

[](#installation)

- Use packagist dependency (gelysis/silverstripe-phpmailer).
- Configure the module using \_config.php.model. Without any configuration the fallback is localhost without authentication.
