While the above is true, there is also another thing that comes into play. We used to send email directly to the receiver the way described above. But at times it happens that the receiving smtp server refuses to accept mail from the sender since the sender is not known to be a good smtp server, and at times it could get blacklisted. Rules like this get tightened up because of the desire to curb spam at the source. Teus. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
