If you want to send mail directly to the recipients SMTP server you can do that with standard PHP. getmxrr() is your friend here. You provide it with the domain of the recipient and you get back the SMTP server(s) associated with that domain. Now, you can send the message to THEIR smtp server ... ini_set('SMTP', xxxx); where xxxx is one of the servers returned from getmxrr(). No authentication required. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
