PHP SMTP_port. . . huh?

if you really want to host your own site, it is best that you get a working mail server installed on your system. Most servers (like gmail, yahoo, etc) require that you login first so that you do not send spam and/or viruses from their servers without having logged in (so that they can "track" your activity; which is why it is best to have some sort of mail transfer agent (mail server) on your hosting machine.

hope this helps.

Okay, but how do I do that? I asume with hmailserver, but how do I configure it or. . . whatever I need to do. . .

EDIT: Sorry, I sound rude. When I get down to the wire I get like that. . . Two days left, then I go out of town, then I miss my deadline.

Does anyone know how to do it? (You'll have to be a bit patient with me-- I don't really know anything about this. I am also out of town right now, so I apologize if I don't reply quickly.) I need some step by step instructions-- I've googled it many times, but there are only scripts which assume that you already have all of that figured out.

Okay, I found this a while back, but I couldn't tell if it was of any use to me.

Can this solve my problems? If so, how do you recomend I implement it?

Something about SSL or something ? *Sigh*
