| | We all know you can use PHP with a web server, but can you use it with a mail server?
I've made a personal messenger system, and I was thinking about adding additional functionality in the future, such as the ability to send mail from it. Then I started thinking, would it be possible to recieve mail with it? Say, have a PHP script that checked when a message arrived at the server, and when it does, check for something in the message (e.g. "pmsystem-to: admin") that would tell it to send it to a certain user, and then have it do the scripts to send a PM.
So, is it possible to do this with a mail server? Because it really would be something cool that you don't see in many PM systems |

Take a look at the PHP Classes website, you can find there what you need. Best regards,

found that if you were new to PHP or the Manual that it was informative but not indepth enough for
my tastes. This is not a tutorial although with the code that will be posted it might look like
one, that is not its intent or purpose. I have searched and found many so called tutorials about
