note 96041 added to mail.setup

Why do i need sendmail on *nix while on Windows i only need a SMTP server? I tried using sendmail but its somehow too complicated and since many users in different php releated irc channels said that sendmail is outdated i don't use it. No sendmail on *nix means no mail feature in PHP? Thats awesome and a very great idea! ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 95.91.110.133 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/mail.setup.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96041 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96041 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96041 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
