Mail can be sent via PHP or Perl using standard mail scripts.
Here are some things to take into consideration when doing so:
Here is a sample PHP script you can use to send email. Be sure to change the <EMAIL TO> and <FROM ADDRESS> values to that of valid email accounts.
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP mail() test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$email = "<EMAIL TO>";
$subject = "Test Message";
$msg = "This is a test message";
$headers = "From: <FROM ADDRESS>" . "\r\n";
mail($email,$subject,$msg,$headers);
print "Mail sent to $email";
?>
</body>
</html>
Here is a sample Perl script you can use to send email. You will need to specify the <EMAIL TO> and <FROM ADDRESS> address. The correct file format for the Perl script will be .pl.
Notice that the subject line in the sample script ends with two \n characters. These characters are required to separate the email header from the email body with a blank line. If you're not seeing the body of your email, double-check to make sure these characters are present.
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$title='mail test';
$to ='<EMAIL TO>';
$from= '<FROM ADDRESS>';
$subject='Using Sendmail';
open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
## Mail Header
print MAIL "To: $to\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\n";
print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n";
## Mail Body
print MAIL "This is a test message from Turbify \n";
close(MAIL);
print "<html><head><title>$title<
/title></head>\n<body>\n\n";
## START HTML content
print "<h1>$title</h1>\n";
print "<p>A message has been sent from $from to $to";
## END HTML CONTENT
print "\n\n</body></html>";
