For those having problems sending mail using windowsNT SMTP server this is another option. Rather than using the mail() function, you can write a file directly into the pickup directory which would normally be something like c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup <pre> $file = fopen( "c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup\message.eml", "w"); fwrite( $file, "To: Nice Name <email@host.co.nz>\n"); fwrite( $file, "From: Your Name <you@host.co.nz>\n"); fwrite( $file, "Subject: Easter \n"); fwrite( $file, "\n"); fwrite( $file, "Hello, this is the message body\n"); fwrite( $file, "\n"); fclose( $file ); </pre>
