Question

I have a simple Contact form, with ‘Send’ button’, that send mail from an email to an email.

In the local host with wamp server i have done it and it’s working.

I have used ‘fake email program’ to send it, I entered the from email in the ‘sendmail.ini’ file.

How can i achieve the same goal using plesk service as a server, where can I enter the from email address?

It sounds like a simple task but I have just spent over an hour looking for it.

i have an contact.html form with php for serer code, what i am trying to do is to send the contact.html form details that the user has filled to an external email, In local host i managed to do it but know when i uploaded to server I am having trouble to locate the ‘from email address field’ (where i can setup the email address to emails that are going out from the site).

Suppose you own a site and some user fill the ‘contact us’ form, You as the site owner will receive an email from your site with the user details that the user filled in the contact form.

This code is from my php file @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

and by using ‘wamp server’ on ‘my local computer’ and external fake email sender program,
I filled up this file with my ’email from address’ (sendmail.ini) with this lines:
‘smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com’, ‘smtp_port=25’ and ‘authentication’ details: username= [e-mail] And password=’mypassword’ for that email.

This is what i am looking for in ‘plesk’ server desk The location of that ini file where i can enter the from address, smtp_port and authentication details.

Answer 1

This is how I do it with PHP and the Mail() function:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: MyName <' . $from . '>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $html, $headers);

• $from = from email
• $to = to email
• $html = email body
• $subject = email subject
