Re: Act as a Server

But Stephen, there are all sorts of mailing list managers .... why reinvent the wheel? NO doubt it could be done, whether it's worth doing is another question. Miles At 07:42 PM 1/31/2004 -0500, Stephen Craton wrote:

Alright, I'm just looking for two answers: If it can be done and how? I don't want code though, that's up to me to figure out. I'm about make a script, somewhat like a mailing list, where users can contact each other through a web based system or by email. My question is, can I get PHP to somehow act as the server where all the emails come in? What I means is like if I were to send an email to list@php.net, how could I get PHP to pick the email up and distribute it out like a mailing list? Would this require the configuration file to be changed or what? Any help here would be appreciated. I don't think this has been done before, or else I would have read their code and seen how they did it. Thanks, Stephen Craton http://www.melchior.us
