    I have got a VPS in wich the send mail function does not work even though the host told me it is installed. But when someone registers they don't get no activation links and i can't send anything to them . Can someone guide me ?

    Your problem is a little unclear. How are you trying to send email to your users-- form or built in script?

    You could verify that mailing in general is possible by sending a mail from the shell prompt. If it fails check the mail logs or messages:

    $ mail email@address.xyz
    Subject: test
    test
    .
    Cc:
    $

    Dude, you can't say "It doesn't work help me fix it". That is like calling the doctor and saying my hand hurts fix it. Well is your hand cut off? Did you hit it with a hammer? Did a dog bite it? Did you burn it? You u put it in acid?

    there is configuration setting on server which donot allow to send emails from php page

    try to configure outlook express with the server and try to send and receive emails?

    Regards

    Alex
