Thanks very much Phil , I am half way home... I added the
+SMTP_configuration and did get confirmation from godaddy. Your
return_path idea did get the mail sent.
Unfortunately, return_path is not being set to what i am setting :) (but
the mail is going out)... It is showing up as Sender:
Apache@myinternalservername.
Which is an internal name, I hoping to reply through my godaddy account
( authenticated) so that THAT mail ID would be sender. I am setting THAT
ID on the return_path = "findfoobar@???", but its not taking..
but it is sending! lol ... any ideas?
