I have an PHP Forum (vanilla forums)
and for its registration emails I installed Postfix
. Now As I figured it out, vanilla forums uses PHPMailer
for email sending procedure.
Now my questions are:
Is
Postfix
anSMTP Server
? Could it fulfill the requirements thatPHPMailer
needs to send registration emails?Should I install a separate
SMTP Server
for this kind jobs? (i.e scripts likePHPMailer
that needSMTP Server
). If yes WhichSMTP Server
should I install?Does installing a separate
SMTP Server
conflict withPostfix
?
application specific password
and used it for this job. long story short when i logged in said email google asked for my phone Number, send me a verification code and ask me to put down new password. as google said there was an malicious attempt to access my account. – r004 Feb 13 '14 at 14:31
