So did you try using the 'smtp' backend and passing all the connection
details rather than 'mail'?

The PEAR Mail package does not fall back from one mechanism to another
if the first fails.

I have mentioned several posts earlier that I have done nothing about my php.ini file. From what you said, since I use U-Verse, am I supposed to do something as described here: http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf

I thought with PEAR, you don't need to do that anymore. Or, am I wrong?

Read the PEAR documentation:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
You can use other backends than just 'mail' - try using the smtp and
fill in your smtp settings as needed.

I saw something like that on http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm, and this is probably what you are talking about?

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
Do I still need to install a mail server? I have Evolution Mail on my Linux box, and looks like that is a client and not a server.
Or, can I use any of the mail smtp setup, like Google? Or, do use some authentication information from http://helpme.att.net/pdf/uverse/uverse_hsi_qsg_english.pdf, since I use U-Verse at home?

Thanks for your help.

Alice
