Re: Re: smtp authentication

okay, your advises were all very usefull. The scripts all do their work. Because I do this all for testing (in web I have a functional mailing-thing) I looked for a simple solution... ...and found one. I simply use an SMTP-Server that doesn't need autenth. So in the end there's only one question: is there any risk in using an SMTP-Server that's not hosted by my provider? I guess not, but who knows? Thanks for an answer, Tim.
