so i have read through all the docs on php.net about the php.ini file and i am wondering how i can specify a remote server as our smtp server of choice. we have our vBulletin board installed on one machine and postfix on another { both macos x server v10 boxes }. i know postfix is functional but when i configure php to use the machine and run mailtest.php the message doesn't actually make it through.

simply using the SMTP = smtp.domain.org config option in the php.ini file doesn't seem to have much affect. i know the config value has been taken by php since phpinfo() yeilds the expected results. the docs on php.net make me think that this option is only for windows boxes but how would i do this on a *nix box? i have looked high and low without much luck - someone must have run into this problem before no?
