OK, I can't take it any longer. I need email notifications to go out to my members and I need it ASAP.
Looks like I'll have to go in to do a little surgery this weekend so that I can specify a SMTP server to use on my Solaris platform...I just hope it's not major surgery.

Unless I'm missing something simple, this approach - using the PHP ini_set() functions - won't work for anything but a Windows platform, since PHP only uses the SMTP settings for non-Unix platforms.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong...

I posted this in another thread but I know it's a common request. I wrote a patch for some of my customers so they could send mail through SMTP, since our servers do no allow php to send mail as 'nobody':

heh...the first time i've ever used b2 was when i wrote this patch
This is the first time I read this problem.
Most often when there is a problem sending mail, it's because the hosting company disabled the php mail() function. So b2evo relies on it. I guess your route to a solution is the correct one. However your idea of posting through SMTP is a nice one. You could do a feature request in that topic of this forum.
Good luck
