When the function mail will have a problem? > > if the "to" mail are wrong? If you are sending "local" mail, with no "@" in it, you'd probably get 0 back if it is an invalid user. If sendmail (or your SMTP server in Windows) is dead, you'd get a "0" back. The "to" mail could be completely bogus, and you'll still get a 1 back, though. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
