RE: [PHP] Re: php mail() scaleability

Unfortunately Sendmail is not as popular as it once was, as a commercial developer my clients would not be tolerante of their website mandating which mail server they must run therefore in this case I choose portability. Additionally using PEAR Mail you can actually specify if you want to use sendmail, backend to the mail() call or use SMTP with Authentication. Personally when both PEAR and non PEAR packages are available I generally adopt the PEAR package unless there are credible benefits of the non PEAR package.
