Ok. To clear the misunderstanding. In php.ini Instead of setting sendmail_path to the isp's mailserver, set SMTP to ism's mailserver :-) it is localhost by default.
As for the mx thing. Due to lots of worms sending mail from end-users computers lately. A lot of mail servers are configured to reject mail from you, if you are not the mx of your domain. This is not the default behaviour, but it can be set. That means. Andrew is right. The mail will go out. from your box. Cheers Szemir On April 27, 2004 18:15, Andrew J.
