For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.
I'm asking because I often see so many books told me to use mail() feely, but I don't really
understand. Can we really use this without even have a mail server or anything related to that? Or
even if we need something before using this function, can anyone tell me waht those are? Right now
my website had not have this function yet, but I'm trying to, because it's necessary
sometimes when I got another project.....
A lot of free web hosts have disabled the mail() function so you cannot send emails using PHP. Does
anybody know of a script that makes a function "like" mail but is able to be installed in a web
accessible directory and called included into another script and called like that? Or maybe you know
how to make such a function? I just really need to find a way around the free hosts turning of the
mail() function. I need to figure out a way to send emails.....

Hey , I have a problem . I wanted a script to send emails using PHP to more than 5000 email
addresses for my software. But if you use the regular mail() function it will cause tremendous
overload o the servers. I tried searching on the net but no use and i found some pre-built ones
which are either copyrited or using PHP 5 only. But I want to make my own function to send Bulk
Mails. If someone could give me a start I would be thankful. So does any one know how to send
bulkmail. Also I needed to give an option of using SMTP servers if PHP mail is not supported on....

to validate, it says... "there is no name attribute" and stuff... and what i say is yeah yeah
