So getting an alternative to mail() will simply circumvent the
"antispam fix".

On unix, mail() is nothing more than a wrapper to a local sendmail
program, on win32 it's a wrapper that communicates to a smtp daemon.

So either you can do yourself (exec()/sockets) or use on of the classes
to be found on the usual sites (phpclasses/hostscritps)...
