Having heard so many bad things about PHP mail() I skipped it and downloaded kid moses' SM_SMTP class. This seemed easy enough to config. server, port, user, password etc. But when I tested it I received no mail.

So I turned on the debug flag and tried again. I get the following:


334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
235 2.7.0 Authentication successful
250 2.1.0 Ok
250 2.1.5 Ok
354 End data with .
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 4C33993A54
221 2.0.0 Bye



queued so everything looks fine. But still no email.
So I telneted to the server:


AUTH LOGIN
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
enc 64 username*
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
*enc 64 pwd*
235 2.7.0 Authentication successful
MAIL FROM:CHARLIE@CHARLOTTEMOSS.IE
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO:*email address*
250 2.1.5 Ok
DATA
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
TEST
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 3B75693A54



looks much the same. again queued. but this time I received it ASAP.

So:


Does anyone use kid moses SMTP class? Is it good? the docs seem competent
Should I try mail? Can anyone recommend best practice for PHP mail?
How would you go about investigating further?


NB I mailed the log to my host provider but they just respond with some 'please provide a complete description of how to replicate BS'
