Re: how send email using zend php?

Sending mail normally goes from your system, to your mail router (in-house
such as an exchange server or cloud such as gmail or office 365), then the
router delivers the mail to the end recipient.

The other way, which is wrong 99% of the time, is look up MX records for
the recipient domain, connect to one of them and deliver the email.

Your error says it's trying to look up mail records (rx records) for the
recipients domain. It shouldn't care if your mail router is set up in your
ini file.

Or if it does care (which it shouldn't when using a mail router), try a
real email address.

what do you mean "without a mail router"? I do not have the PHP.INI file
setup to send mail. Was hoping the PHP "ini_set" functions would take
care of that.
