    In order a phpmail work, depends upon your server configuration or installed mail application.

    If the server has a default email server or application installed, it should work without worry, but if its turned off it will not work...

    Try checking if sendmail or postfix is running on your server if not turn it on and try sending again

    or if your phpmail uses another server or a secured type that uses an email account, make sure all the login details are correct.


    Hope that helps

    Yeah i got WHM and CPanel installed, i would love a managed server no doubt that'd be that much less work for me :) but thats quite a price increase it seems. I have worked with windows servers for along time so i am sure i can figure it all out eventually - with your help ofcourse :)
