In order to send mail through my ISP, I need to provide three pieces of information: the ISP's hostname for SMTP, the username of my mail account at the ISP, and the password of my mail account. What would be the correct sendmail call to send
message to
recipient using mail account
username with password
passwd via the ISP with smtp address
smtpaddr?
This question arose in another thread in connection with using the PHP5 command
mail() on a web page being interpreted by Apache. For Linux
mail() it can be accomplished with the .mailrc entries
set smtp=smtp.comcast.net
set smtp-auth-user=pwabrahams
set smtp-auth-password=xxx
but I need to use sendmail because that's how PHP mail is implemented.
