can you specify SMPT host address with mail function?

[phpjaco]

hello

i have always used the mail function to send mail without the need to specify the SMTP server address such as ASP. Seems like my isp wants me to set this, is there a way to specify it with the php mail function or do i add something with my hdr.

such as:

$hdr .= "SMTP-Hott: someSMTPserver\r\n";

any help would be appreciated.

<?php

ini_set("smtp","mailserveraddress");
mail(to,subject,message);

?>

Ok so after many frustrating emails to the isp I have established that the emails do sent but only to the isp and all other domains are being rejected?

why could this be? and how do I go about fixing this?

Do I need to move to another isp? is there a way to get this to work?

ok I solved the problem I needed to add this line with:

mail ($to,$re,$msg,$hdr . "From: [email][e-mail]","[e-mail][/email]");

-femail => and then it worked else without it, it saw it as spam and blocked it.
