Hello Bruce--
That depends on what restrictions are imposed on your box, of course.
Does your company use an SMTP-compatible mail server for your internal
mail? If so, you could use the server your mail client points to to
perform your tests.
Cheers,
Marco

I find that my the company that I work for is a little over protective.
My machine is quite restricted (as in firewall and accessability) when
it comes to ftp and telnet. Well basically my hands are tied in that
sense.
I am testing my database build on my local machine which runs fine and
all. I am curious though as to how these restrictions may affect my
attempts to send "mail()" I have tried various external SMTP srervers (i
am running off winxp pro) in my php.ini file and I get nothing. Just the
error code I have placed in (below).
<?php
if (mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "this title", "testing"))
echo "Mail Sent!";
else
echo "Mail could not be sent...";
?>
Warning: Failed to connect to mailserver, verify your "SMTP" setting in
php.ini in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\_tasks\email.php on line 21
Mail could not be sent...
Would my local machines restrictions be stopping the mail function from
communicating with the SMTP server??
Cheers
