Just to ask, as the topic is here.
I have the same problem, and already did all that - entering the SMTP and ACCOUNT, but what I can't figure out is:
My for ex: alibaba@cave.net requires authentication before you cen send anything trough it - as any other email account.
Where do I insert my password inside php.ini so when I want to use mail() inside my scripts - they are able to send that mail.
E-mailing from PHP - server needs authentication

It's better if you reference an existing topic in your own new one - makes things less confusing in the long run.

I don't think that you can do anything to the php.ini to allow SMTP authentication. A check on the php.net/mail user comments shows that PEAR has this functionality and a bit of a Google also brought up this: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

Well I was thinking to look for this "module" inside phpBB forum source - because (although I haven't looked at it and am new to administering it) I saw this option (SMTP server, accont and username) to send from distant mail server.
Is this good, or is there a better ways (I will look into suggested link more deeper as soon as finish some piece of code)
Thanks for the resource.
