Besides, I can send email with my mail program just fine.
I tried the similar thing on a friend's smtp server where I have access to the log, weird thing is I didn't even see PHP trying to access the smtp server.
I need to figure out why it's not working fast...
Thanks to your help.

The mail() function returns true if it functions, i.e. if you have all the parameters correct, and that sort of thing. If the SMTP server rejects the email, you'll still get true returned. I ran into this a while back. Try and do a manual connection to the SMTP server from your PHP machine and see if it works that way. It may be failing and you don't know. If you have access to the mail logs, check those out too. -Micah On Sat, 2003-01-18 at 12:48, Tony S.Wu wrote:I need to send myself an email in one of my PHP page. So i wrote the following code: $result = ini_set(SMTP, "smtp.earthlink.net"); if ($result) { echo ini_get(SMTP); $result = mail("tonyswu@earthlink.net", "test", "test123"); if ($result) echo "mail sent"; } It always print "mail sent", but I never got the email. So I was wondering if Mail() request any send mail program to work. Can anyone tell me? Thanks. Tony S.
