Just because you can't use php-mailer in your project doesn't mean you can't use it as a reference. Grab phpmailer and look at the process it follows to do smtp sending. smtp authentication is a pain at the best of times but trying to do it the way you are now will just drive you mad (been there, done that). Looking at a working code sample will make things a lot clearer in your head rather than random code from 100 different locations. http://www.cosmonroe.org/~devin/postfix/smtp-auth.txt under "SMTP Authentication" will give you an idea of what you need to do but there is a ton more error checking and validation you need to do along the way. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ No virus found in this incoming message.
