XAMPP localhost email configuration

Question

I made an email configuration in a contact form by Wordpress and added a link mailto:xxxxx. It’s already on the defined page, but it doesn’t get me anywhere. What I need to configure inside the XAMPP to enable this form?

Answer 1

Use the Fakesendmail for shipment from your local development machine, configuring:

1 - Uncomment the line below the php.ini file, and type the correct path: sendmail_path = "C: xampp sendmail sendmail.exe -t"

2 - Configure as your need, for example:

smtp_port=587

smtp_ssl=tls

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com

auth_username[email protected]

auth_password=mypassword

It must work that way.
