Sending emails via SMTP [example] [php]

[giff]

Hello all,

I have just added a quick post to my blog about sending emails via SMTP.
I started with loads of problems (no idea why) and after a few days of playing I got it the work. So to save a you all the problems I had I have uploaded to code I used.

Please don't do this. It's a lot easier on the system if you just use /usr/sbin/sendmail.

How would I use that? I have been using the method posted above, but if there is an easier one I would love to learn it.
