mailer function

[ldoozer]

Hi All, I have enherated this bit of code from another developer and I dont quite understand it all + I seem to be getting a mail delivery error when the function is called and have checked that the email address passed is valid.

 

From looking at the delivery report I think it may be something to do with the last bit 'smtp':

send(array($recipient, 'smtp'));

 

but not sure what this does so dont wanto to remove it.

Can any one help??

 

function sendMessage($message, $subject, $recipient) {
			$mail = new htmlMimeMail();
			$mail->setHtml($message);
			$mail->setReturnPath('admin@mysite.co.uk');
			$mail->setFrom('"admin" <admin@mysite.co.uk>');
			$mail->setSubject($subject);
			$mail->setHeader('X-Mailer', 'mysite.co.uk');
			$result = $mail->send(array($recipient, 'smtp'));
}
