i think you will need to make use of a pear package to be able to do this.
pear package: http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
examples: http://blog.thekimsfamily.com/archives/3
docs: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php
i dont think the built in php mail function can do authentication.
you can only change the settings avaliable in the php.ini
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = y...@yourdomain
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default:
"sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra
parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =
------------------------------------------------------------------------
working for the first time with pear packages can sometimes be tricky to get
going, but once all is set you wont have any probs.
i think this will push you in the right direction

Hi folks,
I'm trying to set up some basic php send mail scripts - and I'm curious of
the best way to go...
I checked these basics out:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
And got this code below going, but I'll bet I need a bit more - like adding
authentication - smtp - port - sending user / pass etc.
Any hints how to get this to the next level?
Thanks in advance - dave

<?php
$to = 'nob...@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmas...@example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmas...@example.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
