mail() and external mail servers

niyogi

So I'm using PHP with the phpBB boards created by the folks at phpBB.com. The code uses mail() to send mail out but I don't have sendmail configured on my server.

Instead, I'd like mail() to use a different mail server to send mail out some how. Is this possible?

Nope. I never found the solution to this problem.

Are you hosting the site yourself or is a third-party web hosting provider?

We are hosting ourselve.

You might as well just install either Sendmail, qmail, postfix, or exim (since they all act as SMTP mail servers.
