The mail() function always goes to the sendmail binary. Do you have a shell account? Can you perform this command? # echo "Test" | sendmail your@email.com And do you receive it? Does 'which sendmail' return you the path to where the sendmail binary is? You should be contacting the admin of this server and be asking these questions. We can't answer them since we don't own/have access to the machine. -- --Matthew Sims --<http://killermookie.org>
