Hi, At the moment you only seem able to send mail via a specific host specified in the ini file. I want some resilience so I can send emails even if the first mail server cannot accept email. Problem 1 As far as I know mail() returns no result so you cannot tell if your first attempt to mail something was OK or not. Do not understand what you mean. In php manual: "mail() returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise. " And on my W2K box the function does return false if I pause the smtp server. Problem 2 You can't override the relaying server ip in the mail() function. I have put on a second server a php script which sends mails for me. From the first one you can call the second server using standard HTTP protocol ( fopen("http://.... ) ). Has anyone dealt with this? Any suggestions before I try and botch my own solution?
