Re: Mail Function Using PEAR Issues

you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command: $ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2 (which will explicitly install version 1.4.2 of Net_SMTP) If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.
