You need to tell your linode how to send mail. This depends on your flavour of linux, but there's an example here: http://library.linode.com/email/exim/se ... 0.04-lucid Php should then be able to send mail. |

Google Apps is for incoming mail, and any mail that you personally send. Automated sending from your website is a different problem. Some web apps can be configured to send e-mails through your Google Apps account, but most apps can't. In order to prevent major e-mail services from treating your automated messages as spam, you'll need to do a few things. - Add your server's address to your domain's SPF record. - Make sure that your server's mailname is identical to the reverse DNS entry for your IP address. - Never use anything other than your own admin e-mail address (belonging to the same domain as the website) in the "From" field. - You may still need to ask a few users to click "Not Spam", so that the e-mail service's spam filter knows what to do. |
