    PHP mail() on Server2003 Uses Odd Ports

    Windows Server2003
    IIS SMTP Installed
    PHP VERSION: 4.3.3

    Using Invision Power Board

    Mail sent from the IPB using PHP mail() ... (which is configured in php.ini
    to use myExternal.Mail Server.com) seems to communicate using various ports
    in the 1190-1199 range. Here's a clip from a recent email header:

    Received: from MyWebServer (xxx.xxx.xxx.95 :1199)
    by myDomain.com with [XMail 1.16 (Win32/Ix86) ESMTP Server]
    id <S13BB47> for <tim@myDomain.c om> from <php@myDomain.c om>;

    The php@xxx.com is the default sender address in the php.ini file.

    Can anyone tell me why it's using the odd port numbers, and if that's OK? I
    suspect it's because IIS SMTP is using port25 on all server IP's. If so,
    should I configure things differently? The mail still goes through.

    Thx.
