I've found that PHP/UNIX is better than PHP/Windows in every way, including
the use of mail() with sendmail. I had enormous problems with mail() in
Windows. Post Cast Server fixed all that.

Have made a note of the product for future reference. Thanks.
From another current conversation on PHP-email: (my comment) The Windows
version of PHP has a better email interface implementation (than *nix),
in particular that any SMTP server (anywhere on the Internet) can be
directly addressed/pressed into service. So...

Why then add an extra SMTP server?
a) to your machine's load?
b) to your msg's path?

What do you think?
