[PHP] Re: PHP Access Violation using PEAR::Mail_smtp

[Ben Ramsey]

Let me point something out here: I was a goof and had an authentication 
setting wrong.  When I changed it back to LOGIN, it sends e-mail just 
fine.  So, all is well... sort of.  Every 3rd or 4th run of the script 
still generates the Access Violation message.  However, since it happens 
intermittently, it makes it a pain in the rear to track down.

DVD> Also, you don't need a mailserver on localhost to use mail()

I'm on Windows Server 2003...
Here's the error I get when I use mail() and no SMTP authentication:
Code:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]","This is a test","This is the message");
Error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at 
"localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in 
php.ini or use ini_set() in E:\path\to\test.php on line 5

When I explicitly set the correct mail server with ini_set(), I get:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Relaying is 
prohibited in E:\path\to\test.php on line 6

This is why I've gone with using the PEAR class Mail_smtp.  It seems the 
easiest thing to use without having to write a whole lot of socket 
connection code.
