Send mail from Windows without access to php.ini?

[Bruce W...1]

I've found example on how to send email using PHP on Windows 2000. However they
all say to set the outgoing SMTP server address in the php.ini file in the
Windows system directory.

That's a problem for me because I intend to upload this to my hosting company's
server, where I do not have access to the system directory. Each user on this
system has their own virtual mail server.

Is there a way to specify the mail server in the script itself? Can anyone
point me to an example of this?

Thanks for your help.

As far as I know there is no way to specify the outgoing mail server

Have you tried a phpinfo() page to see if they have an SMTP server set? Or
have they confirmed that they don't allow it?

If your ISP prohibits you then you're risking the chance that they might
terminate your account without notice.

But... if you wanted to be crafty, one could possibly create an SMTP
conversation using PHP and sockets to send the email.
