Hi, I see I can use the smtp, sendmail, or mail transport method. Which one should I use or better yet, what are the pros to using one over the other?

Thanks,
b

That depends on your server and their configuration. I can tell you that where I work we urge our customers to use SMTP via PHP rather than relying on sendmail on the Linux servers.

SMTP is generally more stable and secure.

Thanks Idougherty, stable and secure sounds good to me.
