smtp authentication

[clarkmurray]

My smtp server now requires authentication. I have an existing mail script but I have no idea how to add the authentication.

var $mailprog="/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
...
$sm=popen("$CFG->mailprog","w");
fputs($sm,"To: $email\n");
fputs($sm,"From: $CFG->admin_email\n");
fputs($sm,"Reply-to: $CFG->admin_email\n");
fputs($sm,"Subject: $CFG->welcome_letter_subject_line\n");
fputs($sm,"Content-type: text/plain;\n\n");
fputs($sm,"$welcome_letter_text\n\n");
fputs($sm,".");
pclose($sm);

Can anyone help?

You're not using SMTP to send your email. You're directly invoking the sendmail application.

sendmail may need to send some kind of SMTP authentication to the next SMTP server in the delivery chain, but how to set that up is a sendmail question, not a PHP question.
