PHPMailer

[abasel]

I've been looking everywhere for a forum dedicated to this script but so far could only find a mailing list.

I Have two questions:

1) What doe the following mean?

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsocko pen]: php_network_get addresses:
getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in
/home/intern/public_html/demo/lib/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsocko pen]: unable to connect to
smtpxtraconz:25 in
/home/intern/public_html/demo/lib/phpmailer/class.smtp.php on line 105
There was a problem sending this mail!

This is my config file [code=php]
<?php

// Configuration settings for My Site

// Email Settings
$site['from_name'] = 'PHPMail'; // from email name
$site['from_email'] = ' xxxx@gmail.com' ; // from email address

// Just in case we need to relay to a different server,
// provide an option to use external mail server.
$site['smtp_mode'] = 'enabled'; // enabled or disabled
$site['smtp_host'] = smtp.xtra.co.nz ;
$site['smtp_port'] = null;
$site['smtp_username'] = *********;
?>[/code]

[Please use CODE tags when posting source code. Thanks! --pbmods]

2) I would prefer to use the php mail() instead of SMTP but my host only
allows 100 e-mails per hour and I need more for my client base. Is it
possible to set up PHPMailer so that if I use mail() it does so via a
different server?... not sure if I'm making sense?

Thanks
André

Heya, André. Welcome to TSDN!

Check this line:
[code=php]$site['smtp_host'] = smtp.xtra.co.nz ;[/code]

The value should be in quotes b/c PHP is turning this into 'smtpxtraconz'.
