Has anyone dealt with this? Any suggestions before I try and botch my own solution?

I would suggest dumping Windows and use a Unix/Linux solution with sendmail or compatible program like qmail, postfix, etc... If you are stuck with Windows, you may want to try this SMTP class that les you send messages directly to the receipient SMTP server, thus without relaying in any intermediate SMTP server. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass If you do not want to change your scripts much, you may also want to use this other class that uses the class above to send message via SMTP. It comes with a wrapper function named smtp_mail() that is compatible with the mail() function but lets you configure SMTP delivery details like direct delivery option. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

You could also try PEAR's Mail package. http://pear.php.net/package/Mail

AFAIK, PEAR Mail package does not support SMTP direct delivery, only relaying. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
