Mail

Class that provides multiple interfaces for sending emails

PEAR's Mail package defines an interface for implementing mailers under the PEAR hierarchy. It also provides supporting functions useful to multiple mailer backends. Currently supported backends include: PHP's native mail() function, sendmail, and SMTP. This package also provides a RFC822 email address list validation utility class. chagenbu Chuck Hagenbuch chuck@horde.org lead richard Richard Heyes richard@phpguru.org developer jon Jon Parise jon@php.net lead 1.1.9 2005-09-13 PHP/BSD stable - SMTP connections are now reset (RSET) when an error occurs.
