mail()

kane

I'm using unix (Mac OS X 10.1.5). I want to send email, but I don't want to use the sendmail server built-in in my box. I want to use a SMTP address, it seems that you cannot do this on a UNIX box. Someone have a solution?

Thank

I've configured the sendmail on my linux-box, to send "non-local" mails to our smtp-server...

Maybe via the php.ini ... for win32 there are some smtp-parameters...

some advice would be nice 😃

Maybe this would eliminate my "mail() / mb_send_mail()"-Problem

😉

Well, the thing here, is, I cannot use the sendmail server at all (for security reason), (the one who is on the same box that the webserver). So I need to find out a way to send email from my script, and using a smtp server (on an another box) will be the best way to do it....

I cannot believe that there's no way to do it!

Actually, Mail()'s pretty nasty from a performance point of view and rarely reports any errors properly.

A much better option would be to write (or hunt down) an SMTP class - much better performance, you can point it at any SMTP server you like and (assuming the class is any good) you can get decent error reports 🙂

A quick Google came up with http://www.phpguru.org/smtp.html
