# XLIX. Mail functions

The mail() function allows you to send mail

Mail Configuration Directives

`SMTP` string

  DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP under Windows should use for mail sent with the mail() function.

`sendmail_from` string

  Which "From:" mail address should be used in mail sent from PHP under Windows.

`sendmail_path` string

  Where the sendmail program can be found, usually `/usr/sbin/sendmail` or `/usr/lib/sendmail` configure does an honest attempt of locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it here.

  Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, Qmail users can normally set it to `/var/qmail/bin/sendmail`.
