Sending e-mail via PHP

[Domin]

Hi

Is there possible to send e-mail from simple form when the server doesn't
have a domain name, and in the internet only can be seen using it IP address
? The mail() function will work correctly ?
And if not what would you suggest ?

Regards

Domin

There is a nice PHP PEAR class for sending mail using SMTP :)

All you need is a working SMTP server you have permission to use. It can be
a local server or a remote one. If you have a local server without a domain
name it won't be able to *receive* mail, but it'll certainly send it.

You can, but many servers will reject or discard the messages you send.

You can always try this class that comes with a wrapper function named
smtp_mail() that acts exactly like the mail() except that it sends the
messages directly to a SMTP server of the recipients using the direct
delivery mode.
