Hi again,

I am wondering if there is any way to send mail without the mail() function, because i havent got an smtp server, if anyone knows were to get one on the net, like someone that hosts it for me, that would be great, or if you could help me get the script or help me with it that would be great... my im is thunda_7k , ya dont have to do it thru there, i would probly understand more if you replied to the topic.. but anyways i really need that script

Thanks, Gareth

phpBB has its own mail function, something similar to

      include_once($phpbb_root_path . './includes/emailer.'.$phpEx);
      $emailer = new emailer($board_config['smtp_delivery']);
         $email_headers = 'From: ' . $board_config['board_email'] . "\nReturn-Path: " . $board_config['board_email'] . "\n";
         $emailer->use_template('privmsg_notify', $to_userdata['user_lang']);
         $emailer->extra_headers($email_headers);
      $emailer->email_address($to_userdata['user_email']);
      $emailer->set_subject($lang['Notification_subject']);
      $emailer->send();
      $emailer->reset();
