Difference between PHP mail and SMTP feature

[ahmewali]

Can you explain me the difference and the advantage of the SMTP instead PHP Mail function

 

[Rodolfo]

PHP Mail function uses the default php mail() function that relies on sendmail library. SMTP uses the SMTP protocol and is more efficient in terms of get the email delivered.

For example, I use mailjet in SMTP and it's very cool.
