i know in XAMPP i can configure sendmail.ini to forward local email. need to set

smtp_sever
smtp_port
auth_username
auth_password

this works when using my own server, not gmail so can't say for certain you'd have no problems

Gmail servers use SMTP Authentication under SSL or TLS  I think that there is no way to use the mail   function under that circumstances  so you might want to check these alternatives    PEAR  Mail phpMailer Nette Mail   They all support SMTP auth under SSL   You ll need to enable the php openssl extension in your php ini   Additional Resources    How to Send Email from a PHP Script Using SMTP Authentication  using PEAR  Mail  Send email using PHP with Gmail   using phpMailer  Mailing using Nette Mail

If you open the php ini file in wamp  you will find these two lines   smtp server smtp port   Add the server and port number for your host  you may need to contact them for details   The following two lines don t exist   auth username auth password   So you will need to add them to be able to send mail from a server that requires authentication  So an example may be   smtp server   mail example com smtp port   26 auth username   example username example com auth password   example password
