Our mail server accepts emails from the webserver. Our emails are
going through default MX records, which point to our ISP server, which
does relay emails to our mail server. Simply put, I want to bypass the
MX record (which points to the ISP server's SPAM filter, which works
for us for all other mail, we have no control over)

We are using 2 different Linux based servers: one for web (PHP, MySQL)

is co-located and mail server is installed here. For the PHP mail()
function to be able to use the mail server, I modified php.ini for
SMTP to pointi to the mail server' IP. Yet it still uses web server's
sendmail as SMTP MTA.
Please help
Did you define sendmail_path in your php.ini? Also, after changing your
php.ini, did you stop and restart your server?
What do you have for your sendmail parameters in your php.ini?

The sendmail_path in php.ini was commented out. I have uncommened it
and set the value to nothing. I did restart Apache after that.

In that case you'd have to look at your Unix/Linux configuration. PHP
knows nothing about MX records.

True, I forgot - that's a Windows only parameter. For Linux you need
sendmail or sendmail substitute on your system.

MX is pure DNS. It points to a mail server which usually opens port
25 up for SMTP and port 110 for POP3. PHP tends to run under an
Apache server which in turn opens port 80, unless one configures
weird/different things with port numbers.
Note, every IP address includes a port number, and a full connect
cannot be established without supplying the 5th element of the IP
address (the port number).
11.11.11.11:80 is a different IP address than 11.11.11.11:25.
When an SMTP server wants to relay mail to your mail server, it
issues an MX (DNS) query. PHP runs underneath Apache, but
I thought I read something somewhere that PHP can make and
accept connections on other ports. Perhaps, I'm getting it mixed
up with some Perl things I've read?
Anyways, that tends to be the way I think of it all. Please correct
me if anything I've stated is wrong. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-bind.php http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
It almost appears that PHP can become a fully functional SMTP
server and/or POP3/IMAP server.

Sure, PHP can make and accept connections on other ports. It has
nothing to do with running under Apache. But PHP knows nothing about MX
records.
In fact, it knows nothing about A records, either. All it knows it it
can connect to a server by name, TCP/IP performs the DNS lookup
transparently.
Anyways, that tends to be the way I think of it all. Please correct
me if anything I've stated is wrong.

It could be. But there's no implementation - and I suspect there never
will be. A SMTP server is quite complex. A POP3/IMAP server is less
so, but still complicated. Both would be quite slow in any interpreted
language.

Thank you for your posts. I appreciate your feeback.
I agree that PHP can connect to any port and SMTP port 25 is not an
issue.
What I want to accomplish is - instead of sending emails using
standard route (MX pointer): 111.111.111.111 -121.121.121.121 ->
222.222.222.222
I want to bypass that so that mail sent by PHP mail() function will be
forwarded directly: 111.111.111.111 -222.222.222.222
I will allow relay on 222.222.222.222 for 111.111.111.111 .
I think it is possible to do on Windows machine by adding a record in
lmhosts file.
Can I do it on Linux, by rewriting php.ini or is it Qmail config?

No, you can't do it by changing the PHP.INI file. On Linux you have to
connect to a smtp server on that machine. And once PHP dumps the mail
off to the MTA, there is nothing more it can do with it.
You need to follow up in a newsgroup related to your MTA and/or Linux
configuration. There isn't anything you can do with it in MySQL.
But those would all be bypasses. You should get your ISP to modify it's
MTA configuration to allow mail to be sent from your webserver also.
