If the user has to authenticate to send a mail he can not just use the built-in PHP mail() function e.g.. As out customers are not necessarily skilled enough or don't want to bother with writing authentication code especially for ready-to-run applications as CMS, weblogs, shop-systems etc. this is a major issue. All these use the default mail function. Or am I missing something here?
I have to check if there exists kind of a wrapper through which I can send the email (instead of the usual sendmail binary interface) which does the authentication transparently for the user. This could use an account which is predefined by us and can be traced to a customer account.
