Have you tried the fsockopen function.

<?
$fp = fsockopen("mail.foo.com",25);

if(!$fp) {
echo "connection failed\n";
exit;
}

echo fgets($fp,512);

send Quit command. The "\r\n" is the line ending that SMTP expects

fputs($fp,"QUIT\r\n");

fclose($fp);

?>

If you're using version 4.0.2 or later, there are low-level socket functions. (See http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php)

If you're using something earlier, you're basically out of luck.
