does this need PEAR?

its my own domain, and for certain reasons am bound from telling what it its. it is hosted on a shared hosting,the mail belongs to the same domain as is the mail server. it is not gmail. i am only looking on some elaborate information on what is meant by "authentication". if a mail server requires authentication, how does one do it?
-
yes the from address is that which belongs to the SMTP server

just to clarify myself mail.xyz.com...here i have the actual SMTP server..not xyz but i dont understand the authentication part!.....hmmmmmmmmmm! how do i differentiate or know if an smtp server needs or does not need authentication?

Cags, thanks for the replies.however i am afraid i need some more spoon-feeding!..if anything more that can help me understand this better. thanks.

now does this authentication come from: 1.the mail class setup 2.or something to do in the form script 3.or in php.ini and what kind of authentication would it be?...is it the password thats used to access [email protected] inbox?
