There are some classes that use sockets to send mail by connecting
directly to an SMTP server. Look on hotscripts.com or phpclasses.com
(.org?)

Subject: [PHP] mail() errors and alternatives
For the second time in less than a week, the commercial Web service
provider where I have four domains hosted has managed to break PHP.
In particular, I get this message:
Warning: mail() is not supported in this PHP build
I'm not interested in what causes the PHP mail() function to become
unavailable. My problem is that the mail() function -- or, more to
the point, the ability to send e-mail -- is mission critical. No
mail; no work. No work; unhappy boss. You get the idea.
I'm looking for ideas on how I can defend against mail() failures.
One idea I had would be to test
if(mail($to, $subj, $body, $headers)
{
/* report ok send */
} ELSE {
/* do alternative send */
}
Any ideas of how that alternative send could work?
I do have an alternative service provider where I have access to PHP
that works. Any ideas on the best way to redirect the $to, $subj,
$body, $headers to a PHP script at the other domain and return some
notification that the send did not report errors?
TIA,
John Hughes
