Mail/Smtp

Hello, I used the mail::smtp class. The problem is that when i give a non-valid host, i get a blank output. No error, nothing happens apparently ... After some little research here is what I came to When the host is wrong I have this object back object(mail_smtp)(11) { ["_debug"]=> bool(false) ["_default_error_mode"]=> NULL ["_default_error_options"]=> NULL ["_default_error_handler"]=> string(0) "" ["_error_class"]=> string(10) "PEAR_Error" ["_expected_errors"]=> array(0) { } ["host"]=> string(26) "xxx" ["port"]=> int(25) ["auth"]=> bool(false) ["username"]=> string(0) "" ["password"]=> string(0) "" } Now, the problem is that my conf has pear error handling set to a callback function. This function is like the one on tomas site, it works perfectly with other classes but in this particular case it does not ouput anything. Am I doing something wrong ? Arnaud.
