Trying to use sendmail with a script?

Many of our customers use Joomla, and there is an option in Joomla which allows you to use sendmail. Here is a guide to assist you.

If there is no option for a script to use Sendmail, then we can whitelist your cPanel username, instead. Please contact Hosttitb via live chat or phone for assistance.
