Configuring SMTP

Since HandyMail utilises the PHPMailer library for sending emails, it also makes use of its SMTP options.

use_smtp() method

To utilize SMTP, the use_smtp() method must be called prior to prepare_mail(). It is configured by accepting a single array of parameters. The following array elements are parsed:

• Host: [str] Hostname
• Port: [int] Port
• Username: [str] Username
• Password: [str] Password
• SMTPSecure: [str] default "tls"

$params = array(
    "Host" => "smtp.postmarkapp.com",
    "Port" => 587,
    "Username" => "someusername",
    "Password" => "somepassword"
);

$form->use_smtp($params);
