Re: mail() --> "failed to recieve" error

Sorry to bother everyone...found the cause....SMTP on IIS5 doesn't bind to 127.0.0.1 by default. Changed php.ini to use the ip address of its interface and the everything worked. Found this out by putting the same script on a different server, but pointing smtp to the original server.
