Free Servers for Geeklog!

Suggestion: Most of the free servers do not allow mail(), so its a motive to put alternatives in the code like smtp and so.

The developers shouldn't have to consider every server configuration possibility in the world. Webhosting is dirt cheap these days. If someone can't afford to pay as little as $5/month for mail() capability, then that person should either stick with plainer websites or learn some PHP so he can modify the code himself. Don't tell me pre-teenagers, teenagers, or adults can't afford $60-$100 per year for webhosting. They blow far more than that on just entertainment things.

Why should the developers slow down everyone's system with extra code for the few who are too cheap to get the basics?

FWIW, GL2 will support mail() and PEAR's SMTP library.

Don't cry. It was a good spirited post; the small suggestion didn't call for a lengthy flame.
