How can i send mail ?

[webmaster.think]

HI x

I also new to PHP but by friends said me
that if we like to send mail using our server we want to get rights from our ISP.The same problem would occur to me.

[Mrtony]

instead of using localhost, use your ISP's smtp adress in php.ini

[dr4g]

The issue is definetley connecting to the mailserver.

I agree trying a public SMTP server.
One i know of is: smtp.blueyonder.co.uk (Port: 25. SSL: No)

Let us know how u get on.

Cheers
