What are the best practices for configuring PHP mail scripts on Hosteurope.de servers?

When configuring PHP mail scripts on Hosteurope.de servers, it is important to ensure that the correct SMTP settings are used to send emails successfully. This includes specifying the SMTP server address, port number, username, and password for authentication. Additionally, it is recommended to use PHP's built-in mail function or a reliable third-party library like PHPMailer for sending emails securely.

// Example PHP script using PHPMailer to send an email on Hosteurope.de servers
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
    $mail->isSMTP();
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.hosteurope.de';
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->Username = 'your_email@example.com';
    $mail->Password = 'your_password';
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
    $mail->Port = 587;

    $mail->setFrom('your_email@example.com', 'Your Name');
    $mail->addAddress('recipient@example.com', 'Recipient Name');

    $mail->isHTML(true);
    $mail->Subject = 'Subject of the email';
    $mail->Body = 'Body of the email';

    $mail->send();
    echo 'Email sent successfully';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Email could not be sent. Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
