Does anybody know how phpmailer sents its messages out by default? I believe it does this via the php function mail. But there can also be a smtp server specified. Do I have to set up such a server, or is it running by default on suse servers? If I issue a "top" command I do see smtp processes. What would be the advantage?

This has even LESS to do with PHP than your original question!

since when does that matter here :-P

Perhaps you should contact whomever wrote and supports phpmailer?

I'm pretty sure he read this list - and given the fact that nearly everyone has used it I think it fair game for generals... besides the basic mechanism/interface (forgetting the nitty gritty details of mail headers etc that phpmailer takes care of underwater) is very simple. phpmailer is a lovely little [collection of] classes - no outside dependencies - does what it says on the tin, no fuss; I like it :-)

If you ARE using PHP mail() function, then you may want to look into using the new optional 5th argument: http://php.net/mail You'll maybe have to patch phpmailer to use it, or get the author to patch it.

it supports mail() - it's the default send mechanism
