Based on experience, a lot of ISPs are blocking external access to their SMTPs. However, you could also try using your ISPs SMTP

If you are trying to send through localhost, then PHP expects to be able to connect to port 25 on localhost and talk SMTP to it to send the email. If you are using your ISPs mail server to send the email, then I would test from the command-line by telnetting to port 25 if your ISPs mail server and trying to send an email via SMTP. If you can't connect to port 25 then I would check for things like firewall settings or whatever "security" suite you have running. -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
