Shao Sean library works great. My library which is available on RevOnline is to be used on just one case, when you don't have SMTP configuration available so it acts as the SMTP mailer, this works with some servers but don't work with others because some server will do a reverse MX records check in the IP that is sending the email to see if it can be a SMTP mailer, which usually it can't, so the mail will be rejected as span. I use my library for I know that .Mac allows anything thru and I am using it only to send email to me :-) For error reporting, I don't recommend sending email from the app but using a CGI call that act as a conduit to the email. Firewalls or complex networks make sending emails not the most trivial task in the world, it's better to use something like:
post TheErrorReport to URL TheErrorCGIURL And this CGI can then dispatch the mail for you. This way you have a clear and flexible solution, for example, what happens when you change emails or are overquota with a solution that simply sends emails, you can't patch everyone. I recommend using a CGI. Also with the CGI approach you can gather statistical data and mine this data for stuff to achieve your goals. Cheers andre On 7/2/07, Mark Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have an app which uses Shao Seans libSmtp to send email everyday, and it's been working perfectly for at least a year.
