PHP mail with POP first, not local

[journy101]

Been haveing problems with POP authentication in PHP. Since my server requres pop first, I conected and loged into pop first, that worked great, while conected I now try to send my mail through SMTP. What I think the problem might be is the conection is a new one with mail() and doesnt remember im still logged into pop? I checked out the code library and downloaded a few scripts from the network section for mail, but am unable to find a way to do this. Can someone give me some ideas?

$fp = fsockopen("127.0.0.1", 110);
$msg = fgets($fp,150);
fputs($fp, "USER journy101\n");
$msg = fgets($fp,150);
fputs($fp, "PASS xxxxxx\n");
$msg = fgets($fp,150);
$msg = "This is a test.";
$headers = "From: anon <[e-mail]>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "To: anon <[e-mail]>\r\n"; 
mail("[e-mail]","Testing",$msg,$headers);
fputs($fp, "QUIT\n");
fclose($fp);

To find my solution I setup my acount in Outlook Express, compsed and sent a message to my hotmail, then watched what outlook did when conectiing to my server, I saw that AUTH LOGIN was used with a base64 encoded username and pass

$handle = fsockopen($smtp_server,$port);
fputs($handle, "EHLO $mydomain\r\n");

// SMTP authorization
fputs($handle, "AUTH LOGIN\r\n");
fputs($handle, base64_encode($username)."\r\n");
fputs($handle, base64_encode($password)."\r\n");
