Re: Sendmail...

Hmm... that didn't work for me when I tried it. It was the 1st thing I tried. I kept getting "Server error" on the PHP page when I ran it. I'll certainly try it again. It won't be clara I use anyway but I do know the server address from Outlook etc. and it just didn't seem to work. Don't know what magic your PC seems to do but consider yourself lucky. :) Ross PS You should be shot for that "clara-fy" pun!!! ;) DL Neil wrote: > > Ross, > > Apologies if I've confused the issue: "TLD" is "top level domain" > otherwise known as "country level domain", ie in your > case ".uk". > thus your ISP's SMTP server MIGHT be smtp.clara.co.uk (it won't PING for me, so > please clara-fy that).
