mail() should allow an optional smtp specification, such as:

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

I have received all sorts of suggestions on how to by-pass this, and I have come up with a few myself.

But I still feel smtp should be a command in mail().

Not that Perl was the end all and be all, but it can, so why shouldn't PHP? PHP was developed by those who felt Perl ASp etc were antiquated. This was just a small thing that still could be useful ?
