[keak]

I've been trying to look this up for a while but can't seem to find it.
is there a way to specify the smtp server the php mail function shoudl point too?

any help will be great

$headers ='MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: me@domain.com";
$subject="testing sugar email service";
$body ="testing 123";
mail("toaddress@domain.com", $subject, $body, $headers);

Doesn't the mail function rely upon the local MTA (sendmail?)

Apparently, I seem to have to set up a proxy where this mail function should point to a local 192.168.*.* address and not localhost.
That is what i was trying to figure out .....

I do believe PHPMailer should be able to help you with all that you need to do.

or if you use windows you can just edit php.ini and add the local ip address of the smtp server.

unfortunately, im on a windows system.
I wonder why they don't let linux specify the smtp server.
I will try out phpmailer.

I wonder why they don't let linux specify the smtp server.

It's probably because nearly every Linux installation has a mail server installed.
