Need PHP email w/ SMTP authentication

[WannaFly]

I need to send an email in PHP and use smtp authentication - I've tried and tried to get the stmp mailer with PEAR working but cannot get it working. Does anyone know of a completely stand alone SMTP w/ authentication module for php4?

What problems are you having getting pear to work?

Note sure it's even related to PEAR:
Failed to connect to mail.exilum.com:25 [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: -1, response: )]

This was after re-installing pear, before it seemed to work but always replied successfull even though it didnt work (I could use the wrong password and it would still "work")

this is code similar to what I am using, although its not the exact, I dont have access to it right now. http://email.about.com/od/emai...ngtips/qt/et073006.htm

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/....mail.mail.factory.php - sounds like something is up with your factory creation for your particular server...perhaps enable debug and see whats being flushed out?

In the past when I've needed to do this, I've always used the htmlMimeMail class.
