Hi Urs Liska,

I'm quite new to PHP and need some help with the mail setup because I didn't find anything in the manuals and the books I have. I want to send mails through a php script. My problem is that I didn't find a way to tell php not only the smtp server to send the mail through

normaly you did not need to authenticate on a smtp-server. Because of the spamproblem it can be that the smtp-server has the mechanism smtp after pop to accept mails only from known senders (a kind of spamprotection). So you need to configure your mailserver or ask about the configuration of the ISP's mailserver. Regards, Ruprecht

use this class - http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ to enable the smtp authentication HTH Stratsimir
