Yes, the example you provide is the right direction - you can put in the smtp details you use to connect from Evolution to GMail, you don't need to setup a separate smtp server on your system.

I have edited my code to hold the information as we have discussed earlier, and this is the error I have now: Warning: include_once(Net/SMTP.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 348 Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Net/SMTP.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 348 Fatal error: Class 'Net_SMTP' not found in /usr/share/php/Mail/smtp.php on line 349 I am not sure what this means. If I have installed pear correctly, what else do I have to do here? I can see that I have some "significant" error messages than not getting anything at all. Thanks for your help.

From: Ken Guest on 21 Apr 2010 19:31 you have to install the net_smtp package, simply with this command: $ pear install net_smtp-1.4.2 (which will explicitly install version 1.4.2 of Net_SMTP) If that doesn't work. for whatever reason, you could download the package manually from http://pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP/download and install it by hand; though for reasons I've outlined in a previous post to this list I'd suggest you use the pear installer.

I have just tested it, and I have received two email messages to the desired mailbox, without having to install a mail server. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate this.
