Hi Ray, in my php.ini i have : SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 sendmail_from = webmaster@localhost but my website (testing machine) is on localhost (which has also the IP 195.126.5.1) i think the problem is not in php.ini but more on SMTP server side (in settings, maybe password for authentication).
