Email server offline errors

[eluser]berg[/eluser]
Hello. I'm using the email library. And when my SMTP server is offline. I get errors printed out to my web-page before the send() function returns FALSE.

email.php in my config folder

Code:

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
$config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$config['smtp_host'] = 'localhost';
$config_mail['smtp_port'] = '25';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

errors displayed on my webpage:

Code:

A PHP Error was encountered

I would have expected the send() function to return just False and not output these errors to my client.

In my opinion too, when fsockopen fails it should return with a FALSE.
You could call the mail function with a @ so you'll get the FALSE but not the warnings.

Code:

$email_status = @$CI->email->send();

Thanks! That did the trick.
