You could do a hackish work around and write a small server program that is hosted off your computer, maybe on a friend's host/server. Then, you could have your application on your local machine open some other port to connect to the off-site server, and have it send the email data to that server, and have the off site server send the emails. It's a mean, hackish work around, but if your host wont unblock port 25, you don't have many options short of finding a new ISP. - Craige -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
