hi, i use the mail() function on my website when people register, but i believe the mail server of my hosting service is 'blacklisted' with several mail domains.. is the a peice of code i could use to connect to a different mail server as i cannot change the php.ini file to change servers, the mail server i wish to use also requires authority.
thanks for any help :D

Ah, well, there's your problem then. All of the free stuff is full of spammers and you get lumped in with them. There's some REALLY cheap hosting out there.

Try this one: http://www.webhostingpad.com/

**I have NO affiliation with that company. I just did a quick search and found a very cheap price.

I use http://www.ipage.com/ for my hosting company. You have full control over the php.ini file and they are pretty cheap.
