RE: [PHP] Do i need sendmail ?

Yes. Since the mail() function relies on the local MTA, you will need either sendmail, qmail, or similar. If you cannot rely on the MTA (or if you don't want to install sendmail or qmail) you can send the mail directly to a mail server using SMTP. I have a sample SMTP class is you would like to see it. It is just a copy from "Professional PHP Programming". I use it because even though I do have a local mail transport agent (sendmail) I don't want to configure it. Besides, I am sending mail to a different server anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Maximo [mailto:lista@dynastar.com.ar] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2000 10:53 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Do i need sendmail ?
