A PHP library of functions designed to handle all of your one-off e-mail needs under a MIT or LGPL license. Instead of relying on the PHP mail() function, this library directly talks to SMTP and POP3 servers just as a regular e-mail client would. The result is a high level of reliability in delivery of e-mail messages to recipients. Functions like ConvertHTMLToText() and MakeValidEmailAddress() make it easy to do complex tasks such as convert ugly HTML input into beautiful plain-text output and analyze an e-mail address to automatically correct common typing mistakes. All of that while following the various RFCs surrounding e-mail.
- Carefully follows the many IETF RFC Standards surrounding e-mail (RFC822, RFC2822, RFC1341, RFC1342, RFC1081, RFC1939, RFC2045, etc).
- Relatively complete and comprehensive, yet easy-to-use SMTP, POP3, and MIME libraries. Fully MIME and Unicode-aware.
- Easy to emulate various e-mail client headers.
