[PHP] Re: Act as a Server
Ofcorse it can be done... Wouldn't be worth it though, and it would be slooow as f I think... ... I really don't think it would be worth it accutually... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com Stephen Craton [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev i meddelandet news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Alright, I'm just looking for two answers: If it can be done and how? I don't want code though, that's up to me to figure out. I'm about make a script, somewhat like a mailing list, where users can contact each other through a web based system or by email. My question is, can I get PHP to somehow act as the server where all the emails come in? What I means is like if I were to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], how could I get PHP to pick the email up and distribute it out like a mailing list? Would this require the configuration file to be changed or what? Any help here would be appreciated. I don't think this has been done before, or else I would have read their code and seen how they did it.

RE: [PHP] Re: Act as a Server
Well, what point is a mailing list if you have to go onto a website to reply to something? That'd be more or less a forum...

Why would you have to go onto a site to reply when using a mailing list manager? Hell, a lot of hosting providers set you up with Majordomo when you have a domain hosted thru them. I can understand the desire to do it yourself, but this would be a major (if not impractical) project in php.
