I'm developing an application in PHP for my client, and the mail() function is used frequently. However when I transfered the file to our live server (a dedicated server) the emails won't send anymore. <br />
<br />
My server admin gave a short reply saying &quot;It won't send because that server you're using doesn't have its own SMTP configured. Use smtp to send your emails out.&quot; <br />
<br />
I don't know what that means, could somebody elaborate?
