Why are you using Live's SMTP servers? Is this hosted on live.com? If it is not, I am sure they will require authentication, if thy allow for this at all. If it is hosted there, probably needs to be localhost as the smtp server.

Here is what I have for my PHP code: $headers = "From: ajwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" ; $to = $email; $subject = "Comments Regarding My Site"; $body = "From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n Comments:\n $comments"; mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers); This is what I have in my PHP.ini: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = smtp.live.com smtp_port = 587 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = ajwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path = ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = Yet, I don't see any mail in the mail box with the address $email is at. Can anyone on the list please give me some pointers on what I may have done wrong here? Thanks for your help.
