如何发送电子邮件以使其看起来来自我的Hotmail帐户？

Question

I am planning to send out a batch email to roughly 100 people - however I want to personalize it with their name and business name. I want to create a script in PHP so that I can loop through my data, insert the variables into the message, and send, in one go.

The only caveat is that I want the email to appear to have come from my hotmail account, I know I can add in 'From' headers using PHP's mail function, but nevertheless many of the recipient accounts will flag that the message has come from my apache server not the genuine hotmail account.

How can I prevent this?

Answer 1

You'll need to send your mail through hotmail's SMTP server.

You could probably adapt this answer fairly easily to send mail using hotmail's servers instead of google's.
