Using different server to send mail..

[benjaminbeazy]

Okay, here's the scoop. My mail server has been blocked by a couple free e-mail providers namely Hotmail because my boss sent out an e-mail from the server to 3,000+ e-mails. Now I'm coming up with a solution so that we can continue to send e-mail to our users and new users.

 

I've set up a new domain on a different server but I'm trying to figure out the best way to send mail from the new server. My site sends out e-mails during user registration and few other functions.

 

How should I send the info to the new server so that it will send out e-mails?

 

For example, the website is SOMEDOMAIN.com, our new server set up soley for sending mail is SOME-DOMAIN.com. I'm thinking of adding a record to the database on SOME-DOMAIN.com any time an e-mail needs to be sent. But then how do I remotely call the script to actually send the mail. I can pass some info through the URL but should I use cURL to access the script?

 

Hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.
