How can I implement the PEAR function to send emails in my Drupal
installation website? I am hosting on a shared server, with no access
to php.ini. I am having problems with sending out password
notification mails (e.g. new account creation, password reminders).
What is happening is that my shared server is preventing mails from
being sent out by nobody, as configured in php.ini. I am familiar with
HTML, not familiar with PHP. I have looked at the link at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php, but I would
appreciate step by step advice. I would be pleased to provide whatever
additional information is required about the server.

"The php settings are done in php.ini file. The entry for disabling
user nobody is done with this file. You can't use php function to send
mail if user nobody is disabled. Try to implement pear function."

"You are not authorised to do any server side settings. php.ini is
configured at server end for php and there is no any custome option
for it. The only available option for your mail function to get work
is to implemtnt pear function. Hope you are clear on this"

Just to clarify: the emails that should be (but are not being sent) are 
(a) new user creation emails (core Drupal module)
(b) password reminder emails (core Drupal module)
(c) feedback (feedback Drupal module)

My Drupal installation was done through Fantastico, which
automatically created a corresponding MySQL database. I do not have
Unix access, but I can run MySQL queries.
