Successfully implemented this on a Linux server and then decided that
I needed to do the same on a Windows Server using SMTP.
So
Added the classes:
require("../../classes/mime/smtp.php");
require("../../classes/mime/smtp_message.php");
Created the Class & set the SMTP Variables:
$email_message=new smtp_message_class;
$email_message->host_name="mail.aapt.net.au";
$email_message->host_port=25;
$email_message->ssl=0;
$email_message->localhost="localhost";
$email_message->direct_delivery=0;
$email_message->timeout=10;
$email_message->data_timeout=0;
$email_message->debug=1;
$email_message->html_debug=1;
$email_message->pop3_auth_host="";
$email_message->user="";
$email_message->realm="";
$email_message->password="";
$email_message->workstation="";
$email_message->authentication_mechanism="";
Everything else is the same as the Linux Bulk Mail App, which works.
The Windows one failed because:
Send() retains $this->host_name as mail.aapt.net.au- OK
StartSendingMessage() thinks $this->host_name is localhost- NO GOOD.
I fixed it by adding a line in StartSendingMessage() setting $this-

smtp_host is a class variable that you can set to whatever SMTP server domain you want.

I use the Send function. Send() calls StartSendingMessage(). In the
Send() function $this->host_name is 'mail.aapt.net.au'. As soon as
StartSendingMessage() is called by the Send() function, $this-

The right variable to set is smtp_host. There is no host_name variable. That is of the SMTP object, which is private and you should not be poking it.
So where do I set smtp_host? As you can see from above, I set
$email_message->host_name="mail.aapt.net.au"; Should I have set
$email_message->smpt_host="mail.aapt.net.au";?
I am not trying to poke it, just trying to get it to work. My poke
worked.
I should be able to set a global SMPT mail server without having to
modify smpt_message.php.

If you read the documentation, you do not need to wonder reading the source. Only the smpt_host variable is documented and is the one to use. The host_name variable is not even of this package, it is of the SMTP class.
