Sending mail via PHP / sendmail

Using PHP's mail() function and/or sendmail will sometimes cause anti-spam filters to filter out your mail.  As such, it is best to use a SMTP authenticated conenection to the mail server for the domain.  For PHP, you can use phpmailer classes.  Most mainstream scripts will have buitl-in support for SMTP authentication .  You would use the same settings as you would for a regular mail client, though perhaps using a dedicated mailbox for sending mail.

You can see an example of sending mail via phpmailer at http://u2-web.com/support/downloads/formmail/

Some of our web servers require sending via SMTP authentication.   Please contact us if you would like to find out if you are on one of those servers.
