Hi,
Background:
-------------
I'm developing a web application using PHP, and want to automatically mail
users on certain events (eg. new user logging in, etc).
My web host does not provide dial-up and SMTP services, so my mail host is
at a different domain to my web site.
Problem:
---------
If I use the PHP mail() function after calling ini_set("SMTP",
"my.smtp.server") and ini_set("sendmail_from", "user@my_domain"), mail gets
sent but the From details are set to www@<web_host_domain_name> which is not
what I want.
I've tried using sockets and sending directly to the SMTP server, but when I
do RCPT TO:<user@my_domain> the server sends back 550 <user@my_domain>
Relaying denied.
The connection (HELO) and MAIL FROM commands are accepted by the mail host.
I'm not a mail guru, and only have a very basic understanding of SMTP, but I
would have thought that if my mail host will process messages from my web
host, it should also process messages sent via a socket connection.
I realise this is not a PHP problem, but someone else here has probably come
across the same thing, so it's worth a shot. :-)
Any help very gratefully received.
