Localhost and Email

[eluser]bennyhill[/eluser]
I know I cannot test a script that sends email from my localhost on my computer, but is there a way that if I am testing locally, the script will send the email from my remote server?

Why can't you send from localhost?

I had the same problem, I used a mail account from a provider and a library as phpmailer

You can do this no problem. I just set up my ISP's smtp settings in the email config and send away.

@Derek Allard
please give it in detail how to configure this.

I use

Code:

$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'smtp1.myisp.ca';
$config['smtp_user'] = 'user';
$config['smtp_pass'] = 'pass';

and pass that into the email lib when loading it.
