Speficying smtp server with mail()?

[PDP11]

My server has safe mode on so I can't use ini_set() to specify the SMTP variable in my scripts. How can I specify a different mail server with php?

i don't think you can, sorry!

you can only change most of the ini vars either by editing the ini or using ini_set, and this is one of those vars.

ini_set

Hi,

in your case the SMTP server depends on the settings in e.g. sendmail and you most like don't have access to that settings.

AFAIK the only way to get around this issue is to use a mail class (available on several code libraries). Those classes use sockets to communicate with smtp servers and allow you to specify which smtp host to use.
