I am getting the following error when I use mail function of php, at least all php functions should be allowed, because this hosting provides support in PHP/MySql so at least these two should be fully supported.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Mail() functionality if not on by default; please purchase this option by contacting zymic.com

If I cannot use this tell me its alternative that how can I achieve this, or what should I do in detail.

mail() is disabled to stop spammers using us as a mail server.

It costs $10 to get it enabled - come onto the IRC chat support to get in enabled.

I realize why it's disabled, and I understand the risks of enabling it for everyone, but... Instead of having us pay a fee to turn something on that most CMS's, Bulletin boards/forums, and common internet apps use, could you possibly implement some sort of formal request to get it turned on with no fee? Say, if someone has X months/years of TOS abiding loyalty...?

I realize that you need to have a way to make money as well, but by forcing us to pay $10 to turn on the php Mail() function, and $5 for this, $10 for that, it's a little frustrating. If I wanted to have to pay for those, I would have gone with GoDaddy or the like, not a free host.

Let it be known that I'm happy you provide this service, and allow us to use PHP at all, and I'm not trying to rant or anything, just trying to give a suggestion for something that I think could use a little working over.
