| Just install sendmail and make sure to edit the configuration file to allow external emails. Once that is done, you will be able to send emails using a php script. Install sendmail
Edit the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
search for the line
and comment it as follows:
Save the file and execute the following:
This will make sure emails will flow in either direction. Now, write your PHP script and specify the email address in it to which you want the email to sent to.
