So I'm running SS on a Server 2008 box with PHP Version 5.2.6 (http://www.esfiles.com/info.php) and I wanted to have SS be able to email, and since I don't host any mail on this server thanks to Google Apps I'm having a lot of trouble working with the PHP and SendMail to get it to send out emails.

I followed this guide, but no such luck.
http://digiex.net/guides-tutorials/544-configuring-php-under-windows-use-gmail-external-smtp-server-ssl.html

Here are some of my config files

php.ini
-----------------

sendmail_path = "C:\inetpub\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -i"

-----------------

sendmail.ini
-----------------

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=587

; SMTPS (SSL) support
; auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS
; ssl = alway use SSL
; tls = always use TLS
; none = never try to use SSL

smtp_ssl=ssl

default_domain=domain.com
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log

auth_username=<GOOGLE APPS EMAIL ACCOUNT>
auth_password=<PASSWORD>

force_sender=<GOOGLE APPS EMAIL ACCOUNT>

-----------------

http://www.esfiles.com/mail.php
-----------------
<?php
$to = "user@domain.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "user2@domain2.com";
$headers = "From: $from";

if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
echo "success!";
} else {
echo "fail…";
}
?>

I'm really just lost here. So any help would be amazing. Thanks again all.

For now I'm using MailEnable on my server to work as the SMTP from GoDaddy, however now it wont send emails because the email has [ ] in it.

So can I change the email templates so they dont include those [ ] in the plain text version

Example:
Here is your password reset link[http://www.esfiles.com/Security/changepassword?h=0101010101010101010101]
