You will have to use a someone else to send your mail like PEAR's Net_SMTP package or PHPMailer.
Yes, you're right that mail() function cannot handle SMTP server (as I realised afterwards, after delving into it little further).
I've used the PHPMailer class & changed to "localhost" everywhere in 3 of the files (mailclass.inc, class.phpmailer.php AND config.php along with php.inc) but all in vain, since I keep on getting the error message.
Since PHPmailer class offers MORE advanced function that I don't need at this stage, isn't there easy alternative that could simply meet my basic requirement, at this stage ???
Can't I use my Yahoo's account, since that's the e-mail I most often use ???
Nope, I'm NOT God, but I'm British (which is the next best thing ;)
