I would like to try this with my linux box. Do I put that line below
my sendmail_path line? 'php://...' has to be replaced with what for
linux?

Anything else I need to change? for example, I'm not sure if I should
put my global smtp server(google) where it says SMTP = localhost and
remove localhost, because it says just above it 'For Win32 only'.

I think I'm getting confused over reply.. basically, what is the step
by step procedure for this alternative you mention(other smtp, instead
of setting one up) in a Linux box?

Thanks,
