RE: [PHP] I want to use a mailer other than sendmail

Uh, John, note the "for win32 only" in your reply, then note the "RH7.0" in the question. Alex, the real answer is to just turn your sendmail into a SMTP passthrough. It is dead simple to do. Locate your sendmail.cf file. (Yeah, I can already hear the screams of anguish, but this file isn't actually all that bad) Now find the line that starts with "DS" and change it so it says: DSmail.mindspring.com for example. Then restart your sendmail. And now hocus-pocus-presto-shazzam, your sendmail suddenly works great for all your apps, not just PHP. -Rasmus On Fri, 3 May 2002, John Holmes wrote: > >From php.ini: > > [mail function] > SMTP = localhost ;for > win32 only > sendmail_from = me@localhost.com ;for win32 only > ;sendmail_path = > > Enter the name of your SMTP server on the first line, instead of > localhost.
