E-mails can't be send
« on: February 25, 2004, 07:06:29 pm »

Hello again,
I looked through forum - there is no answer to this question.
I talked to my hosting company and they said, that I can't use SMTP.
They said I can use function mail() in PHP.

So, script has it, i looked over mailer.inc.php
It's suppose to send e-mail through mail() when there is no Data for SMTP.
But it doesn't. What could be the problem?

Unfortunetely, I can't use SMTP on my ISP.
So I have to use mail() function. But for some reason it doesn't work. It's says e-mail was sent fine, but no one ever gets one.

if you have PHP activate at your hosting ... you may have a mail() functio activate but perhaps for security reasons your webhosting has "rewrite" a special function more "secure" try to know about this , send them an email for example !!! Sometimes hosting company add a field to receipt on parameter with the mail() function -> to call it you havot to call email() ...

good luck
