SMTP settings for Magento / Magento Send Email using smtp

If you want to send emails with Magento you need to configure it to use an SMTP server – that is, the outgoing server that takes care of delivering your messages.

magento to use SMTP instead of the usual mail function, you need to take the below steps.
- Login to magento admin and go to. System->Configuration->Advanced->System->Mail Sending Settings
- Now here set the host value to your smtp host name like
mail.domain.com
- And then the default port is 25.
- Now you need to change magento file. Do not edit the core file as you will loose your change in an upgrade.
- So copy this file app/code/core/Mage/core/Model/Email/Template.php in to your local, by creating the same folder structure.
- Enable that module.
- Then in Template.php you will have to change the getMail() function as below.
public function getMail()
    {
        if (is_null($this->_mail)) {
            /* changes begin */
           $my_smtp_host = Mage::getStoreConfig('system/smtp/host');
           $my_smtp_port = Mage::getStoreConfig('system/smtp/port');
           $config = array(
                    'port' => $my_smtp_port,
                    'auth' => 'login',
                    'username' => 'email@domain.com',
                    'password' => 'yourpassword'
                );
            $transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp($my_smtp_host, $config);
            Zend_Mail::setDefaultTransport($transport);
            /* Changes End */
            $this->_mail = new Zend_Mail('utf-8');
        }
        return $this->_mail;
    }
- After this clear your cache.
- Now magento will be able to send emails for you.

Fixing a Compiler Error in Magento

Fortunately the compiler is quite easy to manually disable. This will resolve the compiler issue and allow you to access your Magento Admin so that you can re-compile before enabling the compiler again.

You should see the following code: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- define ( 'COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH' , dirname ( __FILE__ ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'src' ) ; define ( 'COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH' , dirname ( __FILE__ ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'stat' ) ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This code tells Magento where to look for the compiled files. To disable the compiler, simply comment out these lines (add a '#' character to the start of each line). The result should look like the following: ------------------------------------------------...
