Using Separate Email Server

[Kray-Z]

I also have my mail server on a separate machine. How can I configure
which SMTP server is used (I also require authentication).

Thanks!!

If you are using Linux, you can tell sendmail to use a specified smtp-
Server wich handles your outgoing Mails.

This is really a PHP question. See:

Thanks Markus, but unfortunately I am using an MS 2003 Server *GAG*

I will check that out Dan, thanks!

I just noticed that my original post did not go on the the other post
about this issue, I thought it had.

For reference, I get this error when trying to send any mail:

C:\MYPATH\include\general.php line 925: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP
server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for kr...@sdmg.ca

The mail server you've configured PHP to use does not want to relay
mail that has the 'from' address you specified in the ResourceSpace
configuration.

The solution is to use a from address that your mail server does like,
or send mail to a different server (in php.ini).
