Answer

I recommend using PHPMailer, heres a example http://phpmailer.worxware.com/?pg=examplebgmail for smtp

$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //If you have a business gmail account
Username = "yourusername@gmail.com"; //Your login email username
Password = "yourpassword"; //Your password

For password use a 2-way verification using Admin panel. it would look something like wqhggkdhufjsjkpftj
