Where/what is definition/consequences of settings ?
Could you be more specific?
PHP mail is what you should use unless you specifically have a SMTP server setup. PHP mail is a PHP extension to send mail straight from PHP, I've yet to see a shared host that doesn't have it. If you're on a self managed server (VPS / dedicated server) then you may not have it. In that case, if you're on CentOS use yum install php5-mail, if you're on a Debian / Ubuntu, etc server then use apt-get install php5-mail. If you/re unsure, Google it or try both.
Thanks for the direction ! Shy
