Hi JC, some php applications can connect over external smtp servers to send emails to users, but mostly they need their own mailserver. The recommended way is to use your own mailserver. I have choosen postfix for my own server - its easy to setup and works almost out of the box. I have given up with sendmail, didnt get it running on Slackware. Hope that helps herbs On Thu, 3 Nov 2005 21:26:46 -0500 "Hiep T.
