If you are not using Windows, you can't send messages via SMTP using the
mail() function. In that case you may want to try this class that comes
with a wrapper function named smtp_mail(). It works like the mail()
function but lets you specify the SMTP server to relay the messages.

You also need this:

and this if the SMTP server requires authentication:
