Right. Unlike Linux, I doubt Windows has a mail server running locally without you having to buy and/or install some extra software. I have very little experience with Windows, but this is most likely your problem. Take the author's advice and use whatever mail server your mail client is using. It is probably a remote server of some sort. Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
