Mode two through the SOCKET connection SMTP mode, suitable for Windows or Linux Class Server use, support ESMTP authentication. An SMTP server is required.

Mode three is sent through the PHP function SMTP, only valid under Windows host and does not support ESMTP authentication. But the system environment requirement is high.
