adam_ Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 As far as I am aware the default mail function does not allow this functionality at all. Using the PEAR mail package you can maybe get around this About.com explains... http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/et073006.htm Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/69180-authentication-required-please-help/#findComment-347703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SZero Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 the code is correct am sure, it's just in the way of sending user and pass info with SMTP info, can this be done simply using ini_set()??

adam_ Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 PHP's mail function uses the sendmail binary on your system. If you want to connect to an smtp server you need to open a socket. You can do this yourself using fsockopen() or you can use the PEAR mail package. There are other mailer packages available as well.
