Re: Help needed using mail function

If your server is windows, you can direct all the mail to 'localhost' (at php.ini) and get a remailer, this should work. Or you can set an SMTP server at the same file. Read this ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc822.txt, or ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc0822.txt if the first don't works. Greetings.
