In response to Mathias Rav's comment. While imap_mail might have this $rpath bug, it is hardly comparable to mail, because mail only uses the default send mail server account, and not a real mailbox, which you can programmatically interrogate and clean up. Using the imap extension allows proper mail management and operation, like users not getting the cryptic server account name followed by 'on behalf of' the 'From' address that mail sourced emails show on some recipient clients.
As per http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30688 the $rpath argument is ignored, and since the (as of now) 4 year old bug is tagged WONTFIX in the bug tracker, this function is effectively deprecated in favour of mail().
Extending the above note. When the socket connection is stablished, it works exactly as if you had openned a telnet connection to the news server. If you don't know what kind of headers you have to send to the news server, then I'll suggest that you better give it a try and play with a telnet connection like this: telenet news.servername.com 119 eaxmple: telnet news.euroconnect.dk 119 Trying 195.184.44.30... Connected to news.euroconnect.net (195.184.44.30). Escape character is '^]'. 200 news.euroconnect.net (Typhoon v1.2.1) then you'll receive confirmation from the server that you are connected. Now type "help" and enter, and you'll see what commands are supported. eaxmle: help 100 Legal Commands article [<messageid>|number] authinfo type value body [<messageid>|number] date group newsgroup head [<messageid>|number] help last list [active wildmat|active.times|counts wildmat] list [overview.fmt|newsgroups wildmat] listgroup newsgroup mode reader newgroups yyyymmdd hhmmss [GMT] newnews newsgroups yyyymmdd hhmmss [GMT] next post stat [<messageid>|number] xhdr field [range] xover [range] xpat field range pattern quit If you want to post a message, you can start by entring the "post" command. example: post 340 Send Article to be Posted From here you can start to enter the header information. The most important headers are: From: Subject: Newsgroup: after the ":" a "white space" must follow. If you are posting the multipart message then remember MIME-Version: 1.0 This one is also one of the important headers when you are posting a multipart message. The boundary must follow the content type in the same line. Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------4A11A9ABCFCA70DD4E0C3605" Take a look at the article below to find out more about headers and packing of the message. http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/kartic20000807.php3
make sure you've correctly setup the SMTP parameters in php.ini and aslo make sure that the SMTP server accepts relay for some mail servers, you have to open up an imap stream, log in, and then you can send mail through imap_mail
