Sending Email with PHPMailer

Pu-239 uses PHPMailer to send email. I use my gmail account for this. You can use any service that allows you to send email remotely. This requires you to add your user credentials to config.php

Edit config/config.php

'mail' => [
 'smtp_enable' => false, // true, else it won't work
 'smtp_host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
 'smtp_auth' => true,
 'smtp_username' => 'gmail username', // your email address you wish to send email from, gmail limits this to 1000 emails per 24 hours
 'smtp_password' => 'gmail password', // app password may be required, info below
 'smtp_secure' => 'tls',
 'smtp_port' => 587,
],

I also chose to enable 2-factor authentication and add an 'App Password'. If you prefer a less secure method, you may allow less secure app access.
That's it!

If you are having any issues, look at the error log, /var/log/mail.log.
