No, nothing is misconfigured on this machine. The problem is the firewall and the nameserver. So, the easy workaround to it is to use the MS-Exchange on Window. Sendmail on Unix still doesn't allow me to use more stuffs, so I had to use MS-Exchange. Sendmail is not the right kind of email service to use, so I can't use it.
By the way, Found a nice open-source script at www.phpclasses.org that would allow me to connect to MS-Exchange. Very nice, I'm going to use this. Thanks!!! Thanks, Scott F. "Reuben D.

In the php mail() function, it's the last argument IIRC. There are a lot of classes out there that will allow you to put attachment using the mail() function. Basically you only need the correct MIME-encoding and stuff. Read the manual for mail() again in php.net, or google for php mail attachment. You have to do it the same way to even in Windoze machine. It's not because of "sendmail on Unix is too basic". If you still want to use Windoze smtp server for sending your mail, then I think you need to open a socket connection to the machine running smtp. In my opinion, this complicates stuff that can be done easier, but you can look here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php. There is even an example by some user contributed notes on how to do that. > Also, it is too slow because the > machine have problem with DNS while many Windows doesn't have this problem. hmm.. that sounds like something misconfigured in the machine, maybe??
