Description: Server scripting languages like Lasso and Java servlets make sending mail so complicated that you\'d rather avoid it at all costs. Until recently, I have been relying on a cheap (read \"free\") perl script from cgi-resources.com, but I want to be able to do this from PHP.Yesterday (1999-02-20), I decided to give email a whirl with PHP3. I needed to have a customized \"thank you\" page after sending the mail - like the rest of geocrawler.com and gotocity.com, the response page had to be co-brandable and customizable.No problem for PHP. I started my research by visiting the Sample Code Archive. I wound up finding some really cool code by Jon Stevens that can take an email address and verify that it can actually receive the email.
