How does MyBB send emails to the registered users. What SMTP server does it use and how does it configure the whole thing.
I'm trying to make a mailing script and it'd be nice to know how MyBB sends mail. I know it's not a simple "mail()" function, so if anyone knows, please tell.

By default is uses the mail() function.

It doesn't use any by default, but you can use one such as gmail.

It's exactly that, the mail() function.

How do you know?
I tried to use that on my localhost but it didn't work, it gave me an error.

Years of working with MyBB.

Do you have a mail server on your localhost?
Look in ./inc/functions.php (starting in line 404) and in ./inc/mailhandlers/php.php to see how MyBB sends emails via PHP.

No, I don't think so. How do I get a mail server on my localhost then?

I'll do that right away.
