Hello TCH Fam <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />It's been a while since I posted, but the time has come to see if anyone can help! I recently found out that with the new Cpanel, you can no longer use the PHP mail function. I completely understand the logic behind it, but I am really doubting whether or not I can fix all of the scripts I use for the websites I run! I'm mainly running mailing lists (for bands, etc) and simple forms for gathering info, info requests, etc. Is there an easy way to convert these scripts that already send by the PHP mail function to an SMTP function? I believe my main mailing list has a hack, but I never used it because it required me to run it from only one computer! When a band calls me at the last minute (which happens a lot!) it's quite an inconvienience to only be able to send it from one location! Or does anyone have any suggestions on good mailing list scripts? Anyway, enough babling, just thought I would see if anyone could help!<br /><br />Anything would be greatly appreciated <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br />-Dave<!--content-->
I've successfully used phpmailer to send mail. Nice features and it's pretty easy. Just google phpmailer and you'll find it.<!--content-->
Hey,<br /><br />Thanks for the info. That's a great mailer! I had passed by it before when searching through scripts, but it's great! Thanks.<br /><br />-Dave<!--content-->
Wait, with the new CPanel, you cannot use the mail() function in PHP? Then why does it still work on my websites??<!--content-->
