yes, I want to use #2, but look at the code, how does the php mail() knows 
where get connect to mail/smtp server on Linux system?

a lot of document 'says' put the sandmail path in the php.ini file. ok, this 
means you HAVE TO to have mail server runs in the SAME BOX. is it the same 
as #1 soluation. I know it. but this is not want I am looking for.

Thanks Rob Apodaca's advice for my question 1.
