Ken stated that you would need shell access to do that and you then replied to say that you did not have any shell access so I then suggested running a shell command from a PHP script to execute his diagnostics test - that was all... I didn't mention your laptop so I am unclear why you think that is involved...?? sorry for the misunderstanding... Again - I do not understand anything you are talking about here. I don't know what a 'shell cmd' is. I don't know how to execute a 'manual mail' command.I do not know of what you speak. I only have a hoster - no php on my laptop.Sorry for not being clear ...can you run shell commands from PHP -- that would allow you to execute Ken's diagnostics suggestion below:-mail -vvv -s "test mail" to_address_goes_here < /dev/null
