I have been using the following method to send emails directly from the server/website but recently I have noticed that some emails are bouncing back with the message that it bounced back due to not being authenticated?!

 

Is there a way to send the email using some kind of SMTP, so it sends like it would normally from any pc so it does authenticate properly?

 

<?php

/*


this class encapsulates the PHP mail() function.
implements CC, Bcc, Priority headers


@version        1.3

- added ReplyTo( $address ) method
- added Receipt() method - to add a mail receipt
- added optionnal charset parameter to Body() method. this should fix charset problem on some mail clients

@example

        $m= new Mail; // create the mail
        $m->From( "leo@isp.com" );
        $m->To( "destination@somewhere.fr" );
        $m->Subject( "the subject of the mail" );

        $message= "Hello world!\nthis is a test of the Mail class\nplease ignore\nThanks.";
        $m->Body( $message);        // set the body
        $m->Cc( "someone@somewhere.fr");
        $m->Bcc( "someoneelse@somewhere.fr");
        $m->Priority(4) ;        // set the priority to Low
        $m->Attach( "/home/leo/toto.gif", "image/gif" ) ;        // attach a file of type image/gif

        //alternatively u can get the attachment uploaded from a form
        //and retreive the filename and filetype and pass it to attach methos

        $m->Send();        // send the mail
        echo "the mail below has been sent:<br><pre>", $m->Get(), "</pre>";
