Mail Authentication

Is there a way to post authentication settings with the mail()
function for sending emails out through a server that requires login?

No, there isn't.  You have to use the PEAR Mail module.  The smtp
"factory" function allows for authentication while the php mail()
function does not.

No, the mail() function does not support setting the authentication.

You mayu want to use this class that comes with a wrapper function named
smtp_mail() that works exactly like the mail() function but lets you set
the SMTP authentication credentials, so you can solve your problem with
minimal changes in your scripts (just change mail() calls to smtp_mail() ).

You also need these other classes for the actual SMTP delivery and to
perform SMTP authentication:
