//  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until
//  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
//  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.
//  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is
//  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
//  for the example:
$success = $mailman->CloseSmtpConnection();
