Hi! I wanted to use the full SMTP-Protocol including "MAIL FROM:" and "RCPT TO:", and therefore I can't use mail(). I have written a perl-script, I call from PHP, that connects to the SMTP-server directly and this worked fine - until a server went down, and my ISP's-SMTP-Server told my perl-script, that the emailaddress is not routable. If the mail had been in a mailqueue, no problem - after a few hours it would be up again! So is there a way to combine these 2 features? 1. give the mail not directly to the SMTP-Server, but to the mailqueue 2. use the full SMTP-Protocol: for example: -- MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Newsletter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Newsletter-List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: blabla BODY ... -- thanks Michi -- Aufgepasst - jetzt viele 1&1 New WebHosting Pakete ohne Einrichtungsgebuehr + 1 Monat Grundgebuehrbefreiung! http://puretec.de/index.html?ac=OM.PU.PU003K00736T0492a -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
