在linux虛擬主機下一般可以利用php的mail函數(shù)直接發(fā)郵件
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

但是在windows虛擬主機下則不能直接使用mail函數(shù)，可以通過socket了，采用郵箱的smtp服務在線發(fā)送郵件（現(xiàn)在的163免費郵箱一注冊就可以免費使用這個服務，并且默認開通的）,比較成熟的在線發(fā)送郵件類有php_mailer，功能很強大，不過下面介紹的是一個比較簡單的socket郵件發(fā)送類，應付一般的需求足夠了。

使用方法是：

require_once (dirname(__FILE__).'/email.class.php');//該類的代碼附在文章后面
//##########################################
$smtpserver = "smtp.163.com";//SMTP服務器
$smtpserverport =25;//SMTP服務器端口
$smtpusermail = "XXX@163.com";//SMTP服務器的用戶郵箱
$smtpemailto = "XXXXX@qq.com";//發(fā)送給誰
$smtpuser = "s_XXX";//SMTP服務器的用戶帳號
$smtppass = "aaa123456";//SMTP服務器的用戶密碼
$mailsubject = "收到用戶的產(chǎn)品詢價";//郵件主題
$mailbody = "用戶提交了產(chǎn)品詢價，請登錄網(wǎng)站后臺查看!";//郵件內容
$mailtype = "HTML";//郵件格式（HTML/TXT）,TXT為文本郵件
//##########################################
$smtp = new smtp($smtpserver,$smtpserverport,true,$smtpuser,$smtppass);//這里面的一個true是表示使用身份驗證,否則不使用身份驗證.
$smtp->debug = false;//是否顯示發(fā)送的調試信息
$smtp->sendmail($smtpemailto, $smtpusermail, $mailsubject, $mailbody, $mailtype);
