Hello everyone, I've just subscribed to the list, and I already have a question. what I need to do is to send mail using sockets. Actually, the built-in Mail() function is great and I wouldn't have to search for something else if I didn't need more than one message to be sent at a time. Say, I have ten or a hundred of users who want to receive a notification about new blog entries. If I use the mail() function in the loop, it will be performed too slow since it constantly opens and closes the door, I mean, the SMTP connection.

Have you figured it out yet? I have written a SMTP function a couple of years ago which will talk to any SMTP server directly via socket. The only limitation I have noticed is that it does not support encrypted logins but that can be added, I just never bothered to do it. So let me know if you still require it and I'll dig it out. -- John Ihr führt Krieg? Ihr fürchtet euch vor einem Nachbarn? So nehmt doch die Grenzsteine weg - so habt ihr keinen Nachbarn mehr.
