should I be using an email service - richb201 - 06-30-2018
such as: The reason i ask is that I am trying to set up using smtp from optimum. BTW, I am trying to use php's send mail, not CI's mail functionality. But my application while being developed on localhost will reside on a public server (knownhost for now) so why am I using optimum?
I am truly confused.

It's best to use the secured SMTP protocol.
Like I tell everyone if your test at home use you internet providers SMTP mail.
I' am have Comcast ( Xfinity ) and I use their SMTP server for testing.
I just send the email through a loop back to my email address for checking.
