If this is better than smtp than we should be able to send mail through Google's server thus eliminating the rules placed on us by the good people at 000webhost. It's not that I plan on spamming but I would like that my account doesn't get suspended because my site sent one to many emails.

Please help me figure out how to send emails though Google.

hmmm question. in my google apps dashboard it says that I didn't configure it correctly, probably because we can't set the priority. It also says I won't be able to send or receive emails, although my email works perfectly

Is it normal like that? Can I set the priority?

Using the ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. mx record

no not on 000webhost, upgrade to paid host then you might.

So guys, noone did answer this simple question yet -

Will I be able to send e-mails through php mail(), if I switch MX record to external mail provider like Google or something?
and
Could it be a solution to issue described in this post?

Do you have your email being sent through Google Apps? If so, can you please explain how you did this? Without OpenSSL I'm hitting a brick wall and sending emails to my users is pretty mission critical to my next site.

Hi, yes I would also like to know how it is possible to send mail via Google Apps from 000?

I've set all of those CNAMEs and MXs and A-Records. What comes next? How do I send an email from my php code through Google Apps? An example, please!

We've been discussing this lately all over the forum. A quick search will return just about everything you need to know.

Hi, and thank you for your kind advise to use the search. However, I've read about all of those threads and still no luck. So instead of having people to go crazy with all of the threads how about a nice little example in this sticky thread, huh? All I need is 1..n steps which to follow from someone who actually got it working.
