I host my site with GoDaddy , and I use the PHP mail() function

  • 0

I host my site with GoDaddy , and I use the PHP mail() function at the moment to send form mails from my site. GoDaddy has a 1000 SMTP relay limit per day for form mail stuff, but they swear that with my PHP script that I should not be touching it.

  1. Since mail() doesn’t take SMTP info, does it just automatically use GoDaddy’s (or whatever hosting you may be on)?

  2. If my site is going to be expecting more than 1000 emails sent out a day (separate instances, not in a loop), should I be using a different method, or is mail() the right choice?

    Php uses by default, the local mail-server. However you can specify this in your php.ini configuration file.

    If you expect to send more email than that, you might want to look into finding a different server to mail from, or alternative hosting
