Question: How do I send mail from my PHP script?

For security and anti-spam reasons, Kattare no longer supports the PHP mail() call. Instead you can use PEAR's Mail/mail.php module to send via SMTP through mail.kattare.com.

Something like this should get you started: (use your pop/smtp user/password)

<?php
require_once "Mail.php";

$from = "User <user@kattare.com>";
$to = $recipient_email;
$subject = "My Email";
$body = "Hi there.";

$host = "mail.kattare.com";
$username = "user";
$password = "XXXXX";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 }
?>

Hopefully that gets you started!  Let us know if you have any troubles.
