mail server

hi all, is there any way i can specify my own smtp server and override the php.ini file? i want to use the mail command on my host and i keep getting this error: Warning: Unknown error in D:\inetpub\nextepmedia\www\nexteplaunch\test_email.php on line 2 ------------ i just have a simple php file with a mail command to mail to me, something like: mail('bfree1@uswest.net', 'test email', 'line1\nline2\line3'); ------------ anyway, i'm on this NT host and they're not that good. instead of having them go into their php.ini file and see what's wrong i want to set my own server (in the script) to point to our host's SMTP server. -f
