mail() - sent from a local server, does not need an
smtp mail server - can be sent from both local and remote, a mail server is required. You can use GMAIL and others (you need to check, I don’t remember). For example host: smtp.gmail.com, login [email protected] (your mailbox) and password from it, port and so on.
the standard mail() function is enough for you, you just need to check your IP in spam databases and set up an SPF record for the domain (so that there are no problems with delivery)
