It will be real handy if ...

mail() allows smtp specification in the new fifth parameter of mail()

mail("nobody@aol.com",
"the subject",
$message,
"From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME",
"smtp.aol.com");

If you think about it, Perl's smtp.pm when it was created did just this first.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html talks about it this type of portability
somewhere.

for sure :) it was kick ass!

you can use ini_set() to set the smtp server dynamically.

I still think it should be added as a fifth parameter !
Why would I use ini_set. Not to get into an argument, but why come up with work arounds?

We don't overload parameters, period.
Using ini_set is just as easy.
