[FX.php List] email() Set up: fx.hp, php.ini or OS X Server?

[DC]

I just use SMTP to authenticate outbound emails which puts all the  
right information in the headers.

I've used the PEAR email class for this, but there are many email  
scripts out there that can show you how to do SMTP sending without  
the overhead of a big old PEAR lib.
