Your SMTP doesn't want to relay to yourhost.com because (I'm guessing) it is not a valid address (no MX record available on the DNS for the yourhost.com domain). You might want to try using your ISP SMTP server and a real address to see if the problem is with your script or your SMTP server. BTW, if your SMTP server is configured for no relay from outside your network, you will also have to use a valid From: address. Otherwise your SMTP server will bounce your address with a "Do not relay" type of error message. Hope it helps. ----------------------------------------------------------- Éric Beaudoin <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
