Email Problem

[Nickosssss]

HEllo there

i guess i have the common problem with the mail()

<?php

ini_set("SMTP","mail.yahoo.com");
ini_set("sendmail_from","[e-mail]");

if (mail("[e-mail]","This is a test","This is the body","From: [e-mail]\r\nContent-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"))
{
print "Success";
}
else
{
print "Failed";
}

?>

Failed to connect to mailserver at "mail.yahoo.com" port 587, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

someone help please?

thanks

how can i find the smtp of my host?

If your hosting company has setup the server properly, you dont have to use those ini_set commands.
