Instead of this:

if($_POST['form1'].submit)

Try this:

if(isset($_POST['submit_button_id']))

Replace 'submit_button_id' with the ID of the submit button.

I used

if($_POST['form1'].submit)

because

1. the button is not type submit but it is rater normal button
2. I do this because I want validate the values of the text areas and other using javascript function.But in the javascript function.. if all things go well i called form1.sbumit value.

I think that is not the problem .... but something around the smtp server

can you help me with that

PHP does not reference objects in that way.
$_POST is an array of the objects in the form (Inputs, Buttons, Selects etc..)
$_POST does not reference the form itself, so unless you have a field with the id form1, it will return a null value.

As above, use the ID of the button that is clicked in this statement:

if(isset($_POST['button_id']))
