In this post we are going to explain how to send emails using PHPMailer from a 1and1 server.
On the one hand, we have a config.php file where we configure the main parameters.

define('EMAIL_CHARSET', 'UTF-8'); define('SMTP_SERVER', 'smtp.1and1.com'); define('EMAIL_USERNAME', '<your 1and1 account>'); define('EMAIL_PASSWORD', '<your password>'); define('EMAIL_PORT', '25'); define('EMAIL_FROM', '<your from email>'); define('EMAIL_FROM_NAME', '<your from name email>'); define('EMAIL_REPLY', '<your reply email>'); define('EMAIL_REPLY_NAME', '<your reply name email>'); |
On the other hand, here you have a sample of a php class using PHPMailer for sending emails.
