How is your script trying to connect to the barracuda spam filter? <br />
<br />
How would your client configure an email program to send mail if they were working at a remote office - are SMTP facilities availalbe?<br />
<br />
I would be configuring my php scripts to send mail out directly from the web server, using the mail() function.<br />
<br />
Otherwise if you are trying to do any complex mailing you should have a look in to PHPMailer:<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I am currently maintaining a website for a customer, and am using Godaddy hosting with a Barracuda Spam Filter installed in the office. Currently the MX record on Godaddy has a A Record pointing to the IP of the Barracuda Spam Filter. It also has a @ MX 16 mail record and e-mail from SMTP and POP work fine. Currently the PHP Mail script I use no longer works after setting up the Spam Filter, and I am assuming that is because the Barracuda Spam filter does not have a mail server? Is there a way I can structure the MX records to fix this, or can someone suggest a better solution? Thanks.

Various techniques are used to prevent email spam (unsolicited bulk email). No technique is a complete solution to the spam problem, and each has trade-offs between incorrectly rejecting legitimate email (false positives) vs. not rejecting all spam (false negatives) - and the associated costs in time and effort. Anti-spam techniques can be broken into four broad categories: those that require actions by individuals, those that can be automated by email administrators, those that can be automated by email senders and those employed by researchers and law enforcement officials.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
