Problem with mail function

[itisprasad]

Hi all,

I'm using mail() function to send mails through my PHP script on a RedHat 7.2. But it isnt working and the problem is that I'm using a proxy server to send mails and not directly from my machine.

So, when using mail() it is searching for sendmail service in my machine rather than connecting to the proxy server. So, is there anyway by which I can connect my proxy server with the sendmail function.

With Thanks,
Prasad.

As far as I understand it you have to have an installed MTA for the mail() function to operate.
I suppose you could open a socket to your proxy and write the HELO, MAILFROM, RCPTTO, and DATA sections directly to the port on the proxy.
