Hướng dẫn [TUT] Gửi email từ localhost bằng Mercury Mail

[VnSlo]

Hi all,
Việc gửi mail từ localhost sẽ trở nên dễ dàng với bộ công cụ XAMPP.
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Ở đây tôi trình bày việc cấu hình gửi email từ localhost sử dụng công cụ MercuryMail có sẵn trong XAMPP.
Sau khi tải về, bung nén chẳng hạn vào E:\xampp => Bạn có E:\xampp\xampp\htdocs.
Mở thư mục E:\xampp\xampp\Mercury Mail, tìm file MERCURY.INI và dán đè code sau vào:

#  MERCURY.INI generated by Mercury Setup
#
#
#  Sample Bindery Mode MERCURY.INI file (in fact, the one I use on
#  my production server). This one implements most of the possible
#  switches for each module, but you can edit it to do less if you
#  wish. All the fields shown below are described in the file
#  MGUIDE.HLP which is supplied in the Mercury archive.
#
#  Anything after a '#' to the end of the line is a comment and
#  is stripped out before parsing. Trailing and leading whitespace
#  is also stripped before parsing. Many sample commands have been
#  left in this file commented out for reference purposes.
#

myname:          localhost    # Canonical name for this server

file_api:        1    # Use the file api instead of queues
mailqueue:       E:\XAMPP\XAMPP\MERCURYMAIL\QUEUE    # Where mail should be put for delivery
smtpqueue:       E:\XAMPP\XAMPP\MERCURYMAIL\QUEUE    # Where the SMTP client should look for mail
newmail_path:    E:\XAMPP\XAMPP\MERCURYMAIL\MAIL\~N    # Where to find the users' WinPMail mailboxes.

Bạn có thể thay những thông số này bằng Gmail của bạn nếu cần.
Sau đó nhớ dùng XAMPP Controller start Mercury Mail (ở dưới cùng trong 4 cái), và thử các hàm mail.
Đây là hướng dẫn cơ bản, chi tiết hơn sẽ đến khi mình có nhiều thời gian hơn. Bạn nào có thời gian thì viết giúp hướng dẫn đầy đủ nhé.
Thân mến.
