many isps(atleast in Denmark) blocks smtp in and out, except for their
own relay.
now, i use courier mailserver currently, and i have setup a esmtproute,
so it works, however, i have been unable to get sendmail emulation
working (i've tried on other systems too, i cant find a single linux
install where it actually works)

im quite certain this only works on windows, on unix/linux, php's mail()
only supports sendmail (or mta's with sendmail emulation)

using phpmailer somehow seems more apropriate, since it can do it all -
it can use mail(), sendmail directly, or use an smtp server of choice.
