- * By default, BOINC uses PHP's `mail` function to send email to participants.
-  This uses sendmail.
-  If this doesn't work, you can use
-  [http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ PHPMailer] instead,
-  which is a very flexible mail-sending mechanism. To do this:
-   * Download PHPMailer and put it under PROJECT/html/inc/phpmailer
-     (i.e. the files class.smtp.php and class.phpmailer.php should be in that directory).
-   * Set the following variables in your PROJECT/html/project/project.inc file
-     (substitute your own values):
-{{{
-$USE_PHPMAILER = true;
-$PHPMAILER_HOST = "xxx.xxx.xxx";
-$PHPMAILER_MAILER = "smtp";
