If you want to use smtp.aol.com then comment out the other one.
If php cannot connect to smtp.aol.com then this is something you need to sort out, it is nothing to do with php. Can you ping smtp.aol.com? If you have a proper telnet client can you telnet smtp.aol.com 25 The error message is telling you that your computer cannot connect to smtp.aol.com, you need to ensure that it can before php will be able to do it. If you can send email from your computer (via smtp.aol.com) then can you send an email by this means? Hope this helps. Chris
