This function (actually 2) connects to any SMTP server and sends a basic email. No fluff... no attachments... no mime-type... just the email. This eliminates that pesky problem with the return-path being automatically set to the webserver user when sending through PHP's mail function.

Usage Example

// Sample Usage

                            // If you are returning the error message, be sure to check the result with a triple equal (===)


                            $mail_settings[to]        = "Good Buddy <buddy@buddydomain.com>";

                            $mail_settings[from]    = "PHP Guru <your_name@domain.com>";

                            $mail_settings[subject]    = "Dude... Check this out!";

                            $mail_settings[prior]    = 1;

                            $mail_settings[msg]        = "Dude... you gotta checkout my new email function... it rocks!";


                            

                            $email_good = quick_dirty_email($mail_settings, true);

                            if ($email_good === true) {

                                echo "All's good!";

                            } else {

                                echo "Error: $email_good<br>";

                            }
