Hello,
I'm quite new to PHP and need some help with the mail setup because I
didn't find anything in the manuals and the books I have.
I want to send mails through a php script. My problem is that I didn't
find a way to tell php not only the smtp server to send the mail through
but also the username and password the smtp server expects. When running
the script on my ISP's server it works but the mail is sent from an
"CGI-Mailer" account (seemingly central for the ISP). When running the
script from my home machine (after having pointed php (in php.ini) to
the smtp server through which I can send my emails) I get an error
message complaining about required authentication.
Do I understand something wrong or is there really no way to tell php
about the username and password for the smtp server?
I would really appreciate any help.
Regards
Urs Liska

normaly you did not need to authenticate on a smtp-server. Because of
the spamproblem it can be that the smtp-server has the mechanism smtp
after pop to accept mails only from known senders (a kind of
spamprotection).
So you need to configure your mailserver or ask about the configuration
of the ISP's mailserver.

use this class - http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ to enable the
smtp authentication

Hello Stratsimir Kolchevski,
thank you for the hint. I just downloaded phpmailer and will have a
closer look at the source (since I don't want to just use it but also to
understand :-)
Regards
Urs
