note 39894 added to function.mail

If you want to send emails through socket instead sendmail, you could use this function ( maybe improved, but works well specially on Win98 / Apache / Php4.3.4 ). It sends nice HTML mails :)) and support both methods $auth=0, try no authentification, and $auth=1 with user / pass. I figured out an example to use : Enjoy :)) This simple function is a simplified version of mail class, found on net, phpprojekt <? php //mail($catre, $subject, $message, $headers); //old fashion mail, using sendmail, useful on linux sock_mail(1,$catre,$subject,$message,$headers,$from);//sock version, usable on Win32 //this is the sock mail function function sock_mail($auth,$to, $subj, $body, $head, $from){ $lb="\r\n"; //linebreak $body_lb="\r\n"; //body linebreak $loc_host = "localhost"; //localhost $smtp_acc = "your_mail_account"; //account $smtp_pass="your_mail_password"; //password $smtp_host="your_mail_server"; //server SMTP $hdr = explode($lb,$head); //header if($body) {$bdy = preg_replace("/^\./","..",explode($body_lb,$body));} // build the array for the SMTP dialog.
