[[File:Warning.png]] WARNING
Some email provider (like Yahoo) does not allow you to send an email from another server than the Yahoo server if the email address used as a sender is
a Yahoo email (for example myemail@yahoo.com, myemail@yahoo.fr, ...). If you sue the PHPmail method, it means you will use the server of your application to send emails, so some recipients (the one compatible with DMARC protocol), will ask Yahoo if they can accept your email and Yahoo will respond "no" because the server is not a Yahoo server, and some of your Emails may not be received.<br>
If like Yahoo, your Email provider has this restriction, you must set this setup to choose the other method "SMTP/SMTPS socket library" and enter here the SMTP server and credentials provided
by your Email provider.
