Hi Manuel >> Hotmail will accept mail delivery from PHP ? > > Sure. There is nothing specific of PHP that prevents Hotmail from > accepting messages sent by PHP scripts. I used your test_smtp_message.php setting "to_address" to my hotmail, localhost to my ip on dyndns, smtp_host to www.hotmail.com, smtp_user to my hotmail, and smtp_password to my hotmail pw.
