If your host doesn't let you use SMTP directly (not through their webmail)
you probably can't do that: use SMTP directly.
But you maybe *can* use PHP with imap_open (as in your example) to do it.
When your host says "not use SMTP directly" they may mean:
"not use fsockopen to talk to SMTP and send email"
They probably do not mean:
"not use imap_open to manage your email"
You'll have to write your imap_open script and find out.
They *MIGHT* mean that you can't do it, and it *might* be based on which
machine your imap_open is saved on. For example, my host has a different
computer/box for all email and the web-server is not the same computer at
all.
Fortunately, he lets me use imap_open from his web box to his email box --
I have a custom PHP script that throws out a lot of junk that spam
assassin doesn't catch, and I'd be in real trouble without that.
Easiest solution might be to find a new host, or even just put your IMAP
application and email on a new host, and start forwarding email from your
current host to that one.
