how could i use mail sending on my site? should i use php mail() function or should i do it via smtp?

The PHP Mail function will work, SMTP should also work as well.

thanks for so quick response
i have problem with sending mail, i have tried mail() and smtp using my own smtp settings but it is not working

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

my send mail function looks like

function m_sendmail_mail($to,$subject,$mailbody,$from_name){
$from = $config["smtp_from"];

$headers = "Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1251 \r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from_name <$from>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $mailbody, $headers);
}

it shoul be ok, i think

$from = $config["smtp_from"];

$from will be empty (where did you get $config ?)
You should also test the return value of mail().
$from should be set to an email attached to your domain. Otherwise, the outgoing filters might block it as spam.
Lastly, Yahoo and Hotmail have blacklisted mail from the x10 mailserver due to spamming by some users. They are trying to get Y & H to understand that there are thousands of legit users here, but I don't think they have succeeded yet.

hello,
i have created test php script for testing mail now
http://bizon.x10.bz/test.php

i have hardcoded all the vars

$from_name="admin";
$from = "admin@bizon.x10.bz";
$to="zzma@inbox.ru";
$mailbody="test message";
$subject="test from new host";

$headers  = "Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1251 \r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from_name <$from>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

$resp = false;
$resp = mail($to, $subject, $mailbody, $headers);

print $resp;

but i do not get any response, $resp is not printed.

i have looked in some similar posts and have found that for mail() working i need to have intermediate php configuration, how can i check what php configuration i have? and how can i turn intermediate php configuration on?
