I'm not sure what should be in the php.ini. Where can I find out what needs to be in the SMTP section? -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:listschris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sonntag, 18.

You could load phpinfo(); and check to see what php.ini file you are using. Then check that for the SMTP setting. FYI: doing a google search on 'PHP mail "Unknown Error"' got me multiple hits that would at least suggest checking your configuration.
