I am trying to implement Hesk along with the PEAR mail function. I need to use SMTP authentication our server, and need to rewrite the email bits of Hesk to work with it. I really don't know how to do this (sorry). Does anyone know how to do this? Or has anyone done it before? The server is setup and installed with PEAR and the mail package. I just don't know how to re-write the hesk code to use it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure you need that as long as you can get the PHP built-in function mail() to work, check with your host to do that.

I'm afraid any code rewriting of this scale is out of the scope of my support.

whycantihaveaname,
Did you have any luck with this? I am about to implement PEAR for SMTP Auth with Hesk and am wondering if you got things going?

Klemen - from what I understand the php function can't handle SMTP auth - do you know if this is true? The mail server requires it and I will have to figure out some way to satisfy the auth requirement. Thanks!
