RE: [PHP] php mail() error

Hi, Problem is realted to your smtp server. Make sure it allowed outgoing mail without authenctication. You must also set a header in fourth parameter of mail function, it is good practice and can save you from some basic indentification problems. In windows you can set default send mail from in php.ini Try Mail("you@yourdomain.com","test subject","test body","from:your_email@youranotherdomain.com\r\r"); If it fails contact your ISP.
