I am setting up a new website for a client on my reseller hosting account.
They want to keep their mail server running with no changes.
My reseller hosting account has an SMTP server which I want to hook Swift Mailer into in order to send confirmation e-mails etc from scripts running on the webserver.
I do not have a username or password to use with this SMTP server as I don't have any mailboxes set up (the client wants to keep their original mail server running)
Can I use SMTP Authentication in this situation or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Re: SMTP Authentication (very) basic question
You can use either the SMTP server on the box or your clients, but either way it needs a server address, user name and password in order to send mail.

Thanks for the reply.
Does this mean that if I set up a mail account on the webserver box, it will let me do SMTP Authentication even though the account isn't running on the primary mailserver (as found in DNS)

Re: SMTP Authentication (very) basic question
Uhhh I would think so? Can't hurt to give it a try.
Re: SMTP Authentication (very) basic question
Yes, giving it a try is my next course of action.
