PHP can do port connects, do a raw connect to port 25 (SMTP) at <anyserver>, that would solve all your listed problems below. There might be a smarter way, but a port connect will give you full controll of your mail delivery. -----Original Message----- From: Paul J.

I want some resilience so I can send emails even if the first mail server cannot accept email. Problem 1 As far as I know mail() returns no result so you cannot tell if your first attempt to mail something was OK or not. Problem 2 You can't override the relaying server ip in the mail() function. Has anyone dealt with this? Any suggestions before I try and botch my own solution?
