Not sure why you have square brackets around the relayhost value. 2. You're getting a bounce from the ISP's mail server, one indicating it still won't allow relay. 3. I suspect the relayhost name is wrong. This may be the name you find in the mail headers on messages relayed to you, but I doubt it's the one you should use to post to. I could be wrong, though. 4. All due respect to Kranthi, but I believe he's wrong about relaying mail from your webserver to the ISP's mailserver. I believe the ISP's mailserver doesn't care, as long as the mail comes from your "pipe". You could probably call yourself "pizza@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" and your ISP would accept it. It's just the From:. Again, I could be wrong. 5. This would be a lot simpler if you just call Shaw and ask them for the name of the mailserver, and ask them if it's a problem for you to post mail from your internal webserver to their mailserver. Then ask them why such posts might bounce with a 5XX error. Paul Paul -- Paul M. Foster -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
