title: Using PHP to send mails from my organisation's email id?
body: <p>So, I developed this web application which needs me to send emails to everyone (details in a mysql database), providing a unique set of user credentials. I have a virtual server on the University network where I am hosting my PHP based application, so it obviously doesn't have its own mail server/SMTP settings.</p>
  
  <p>So, if I were to send out mails from a university network, I guess I should request the network admin for the SMTP settings for the university mail network and then use PEAR for it right?</p>
  
  <p>I need to confirm this because it's kind of a big deal to make a request like that, and I myself have never used PHP to send mails 'from' an external email id not linked to the server.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any alternatives to this?</p>
