If you have an account on a remote host, you can always do something
like this:
<?php
include("http://www.remotehost.com/~myaccount/mailfunction.inc";);
mymail($to, $mailbody);
?>
where mailfunction.inc has the mymail function defined to just take your
parameters and stuff them into the standard mail().
Of course include()ing from remote hosts can be disabled when compiling
PHP, and if your host is really evil, the will have disabled this too.
Your last resort is to create your own mail function by fsockopen()ing a
connection to port 25 of your SMTP server and sending raw SMTP commands.
This would require some reading of the relevant mail RFCs...but is
definitely feasible.
