Mail FAQ Uptodate?

[7rans]

Is the bottom of this FAQ still correct? I looked for mail($to... in functions.php and could not find it.

mail() is a native PHP function.

I know that. That's not what I was talking about. Did you look at the FAQ I linked to? At the bottom it says:

Some webhosts have various restrictions on PHP mail. Some hosts require that the
From address be a | mailbox address on their server. Other hosts may disable the
mail function completely. Please ask your webhost if there are any special restrictions
they have on sending mail via PHP.

If your webhost has restricted that only mails from there own domain is allowed, try to
edit the file inc/functions.php. Look for:

  mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

and include above:

  ini_set("sendmail_from", " [e-mail] "); 

Then it should look like this:

  ini_set("sendmail_from", " [e-mail] "); 
  mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

YOURDOMAIN must be replaced by the domain where the forum is hosted.

But I looked at my functions.php file and can not find the line specified. So it appears that this FAQ is not up to date.

@trans is right, this line doesn't exist. And it's not the only doc that should be updated for 1.8.
