You need to set the DeliveryMode option to queue. Take a look at this class and in particular to the sendmail_mail.php scripth that is a wrapper arround the class to emulate the mail() function but in a way that lets you configure sendmail delivery mode directly from your scripts. Set the delivery_mode variable of the $message_object to SENDMAIL_DELIVERY_QUEUE . http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
