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

[DC]

nope, smpt option in mail() is only for windows - see the php manual.  
i meant using an external script like the one in the PERA libraries  
to do proper multi-platform SMTP. unless of course you are in windows  
and that's all you care to get working _ i can't say i've used those  
features of mail() since I don't have a windows server.
