Re: [PHP] Re: replacing mail()

Afaik, PHP on Unix does not use internal functions but instead it uses
Sendmail therefore you can configure it in PHP.INI to not use sendmail,

as for win32, PHP mails via direct SMTP connections...

 I've spent over 6 months trying to get sendmail to work to my liking,
don't
 talk to me about sendmail!
 :-P

 eXtremail does the job real good  ;-)

 Is there any way of EASILY rewriting PHP's mail() function?

 Cheers,
 Liam

 There is something you can set in php.ini afaik.
 search for 'sendmail' in that file.

  Yeah, mail() again...
 
  I want to disable the default mail command and replace it with my own.
  I've written a function that talks directly to my SMTP server, however,
 I'd
  rather not go thru every single script on my server and change all the
  mail() functions.
 
  Any ideas?
 
  Cheers,
  Liam

I know the feeling.  I use qmail now.

No.  Qmail provides a sendmail wrapper that replaces the sendmail program 
and injects
mail onto the qmail queue.  I just replaced the /sbin/sendmail program with 
a link to
  /var/qmail/bin/sendmail and all programs on the server, including PHP 
send mail through
it.
