Hi,

At the moment you only seem able to send mail via a specific host
specified in the ini file.    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.
  Do not understand what you mean. In php manual:
  "mail() returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise. "

  And on my W2K box the function does return false if I pause the smtp server.
Problem 2
You can't override the relaying server ip in the mail() function.
  I have put on a second server a php script which sends mails for me. >From the first one you can call the second server using standard HTTP protocol ( fopen("http://.... ) ).
Has anyone dealt with this?  Any suggestions before I try and botch my
own solution?

Thanks.
