Im realy trying here, and searching alot, but I seem to have goten stuck and need some guidence
I am haveing problems with the mail command, did alot of google searching but cant seem to find a solution that works. I set up a web server and mail server. The web server works, I downloaded and set up php. php also works, I verified it by makeing a test script that prints out some variables. Then I wrote a small mail script, never used mail function before I looked up examples in the php manual. This is on Windows 98. Not sure if my problem is a configuration problem with my web server, mail server, php, or the php script, but php script seems to be ok. I keep geting the error

I configured php.ini as
Looking at the error seems php did make the conect to the server but the server dont recognise me as local, I always thought I was crazy but aparently the server don't:) heh,Quote:
