[RESOLVED] mail() help please!

[mfos]

Hi there

I'm on a hosted windows server and having problems sending email from a script.
My host won't change the php.ini and i'm wondering what is the best solution to a problem that is frustrating me no end.

I'm using the mail() function and everything appears okay script wise. Its just my emails are not being sent, most likely because the SMTP is not defined.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers
M

If mail() succeeds, the mail is going SOMEWHERE. It may of course not be being delivered.

I assume you have error_reporting(E_ALL) and there are no errors; moreover, you're checking that mail() returned true.

Therefore, the mail is somewhere, just not being delivered.

Your host should be able to help you- you must be able to get them to diagnose it and/or send you the relevant parts of the log file.

If the host is unwilling or unable to do this, they're obviously wholly incompetent, get a new one.
