Use the PEAR Mail module. See the PHP: mail documentation.

Zend_Mail supports SMTP authentication

The simple answer is to use a library like one of the following:

• SwiftMailer
• phpMailer
• Zend_Mail

One of many ways, it really depends how your scripts works. More info would be helpful. But you could just create a method that accepts the userid and password, validate the user against your database, and, if true send the email.
