PHP MAIL() relies on SMTP to send email. You will need to figure out where on your network is an SMTP mail server. If you send mail to/from the Internet, you will have one. Exchange 5.5 has the Internet Mail Connector, and Exchange 2000 uses, by default, only SMTP. A workaround maybe to setup an SMTP server just for PHP. There are some good free ones out there. I believe Windows 2000 server even has one built-in. Also for Windows, Mercury is very good (it's what I use). http://www.pmail.com/ For linux, there is always sendmail and postfix. Postfix is pretty simple to setup, www.postfix.org, http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/index.html Lance "Robin Baxter" <jm@baxte.demon.co.uk> wrote in message news:20030623224302.2245.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I am having problems setting up mail.
