Hi,
This might be "too simple" or not...
I'm trying to send emails from my PHP page, and while both mail() and PEAR Mail
work, I'm having a hard time finding out whether a message was actually sent or
not.
The short answer is 'not really'.
The long answer..
If the mail server accepts the mail, then the php mail() command returns
true.
If it doesn't accept it (eg it's down), then it returns false.
Since (in this case) your mail server accepts the email to attempt
delivery and places it in the queue, mail() returns true. Whether it
works after that is up to the mail server to figure out.
You could try to send emails through an smtp server but I don't think
this would give you any extra benefits and it's a lot harder because you
have to check at each step that the command works.. I don't know if pear
mail can handle this for you.
