you can send mail service codeigniter framework, it's described here.

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/email.html

there's settings protocol, servers , every item ever wish configurate. can hook gmail if want well.

$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail'; $config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1'; // gmail specific settings here $config['smtp_host'] = ''; $config['smtp_user'] = ''; $config['smtp_pass'] = ''; $config['smtp_port'] = ''; $config['wordwrap'] = true; $this->load->library('email'); $this->email->initialize($config); $this->email->from('your@example.com', 'your name'); $this->email->subject('email test'); $this->email->message('testing email class.'); $this->email->send();
