PHP: Need Help Sending Mail Using SMTP

Recommended Posts

Well you can connect directly to the SMTP server using sockets to connect to it and sending the commands you need to do.Do you know what commands must be sent? If not just search for "telnet smtp" since this should give you the basic commands to get it working, you could have a go at reading the RFC on SMTP, which is RFC821 (there is a newer one too) which hopefully you'll understand more on SMTP and what you can and can't do.What flexibility do you need from mail(), because it might be simple to just add that flexibility to it.Cheers,MC

Thanx for the help, M^C.

I used the PHPMailer class from soreceforge. What I actually needed to do was send an E-Mail from an account other than 'nobody@Xisto.com'. Following the instructions of the PHPMailer installation, all turned out to be really nice and smooth. I had to implement this feature to get feedbacks for my site at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.
