I just submitted #621-623 to provide documentation of what needs work and why, to assist whomever happens to get the time first. For those, I think a status of "Analyzed" or "Suspended" would be more appropriate to indicate that there is still work to be done. "Closed" kind of says "Ignore this. All done." > There are several good external mailers on NT that can be used > via execing them. One is called blat. That brings to mind a suggestion for a small change to PHP's mail configuration: [mail function] mailer = ;"internal" or "external" SMTP = ;for internal mailer only sendmail_from = ;for internal mailer only sendmail_path = ;for external mailer only, ;may supply arguments as well ;(default is "sendmail -t") This would allow the use of external mailers on NT (and the internal mailer on Unix) if desired. An interesting mental exercise: How full-featured would the internal mailer need to be before PHP would ship with "mailer = internal" by default?
