The title is pretty self explanatory. I wish to test my php mailing script but I want to make sure that you can in fact run it completely.

Hi,

Yes, we support the standard PHP mail() functions. However, please ensure that if your script fakes the "From" header, you set it to an email address present on your account. ;)

Thank you,

One other little note: if you have no message body, or are sending something that just says something like "testing", it's going to be silently discarded by the outgoing filter. Your mail needs to look like mail. (There are historical reasons for that. It's easy to get onto spam lists - a small number of "oopsies" coming too close together will do it - and very hard to get off of them again.)

Yeah for that very reason I always test my scripts In a way that they would actually be used. Thankso to all for the information and I'm glad to say the script is working fine :)
