No problem, your English is better than most of my colleagues.

I don't know if I can help but here are some questions for you anyways:

1) What mail (SMTP) Server are you using?

2) Could you post the relevant PHP code, please?

3) Are you able to send mail locally, from, for example Eudora or Mozilla
mail using "localhost" as the SMTP server in the configuration for your
email application?

If not, then there is something wrong with your localhost mail setup.

later...

This is a little peace of the PHP code
if ($age == "adult") {
if ($Globals['emailverify'] == "yes") {
$query = "SELECT userid FROM {$Globals['pp_db_prefix']}users
WHERE username='$pick _username' AND joindate='$join date' LIMIT 1";
$resulta = ppmysql_query($ query,$link);
list( $theuid ) = mysql_fetch_row ($resulta);
ppmysql_free_re sult($resulta);

require_once("l anguages/{$Globals['pplang']}/emails.php");

$email_from = "From: {$Globals['adminemail']}";
$letter = $Globals['pp_lang']['emailreg'];
$subject = $Globals['pp_lang']['emailrsub'];

mail( $email, $subject, $letter, $email_from ); <===

$done = "{$Globals['pp_lang']['thanksreg']}<p>

<a href=\"{$Global s['maindir']}/index.php\"><fo nt
class=\"medium\ ">
{$Globals['pp_lang']['retfront']}
{$Globals['galleryname']}</font></a>";

diewell( $done );
}
}
The line with the arrow is the line where the browser normaly returns the
following fault:
Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 451 Request action aborted; local
processing error in c:\www\register .php on line 491
If I change teh smtp setting in the php.ini file to smtp = (ipadres of
mailserver), it results in the same fault as if i have set smtp = localhost.
When I change it to my ISP mailserver, no mail is sent.

If you mean, can you sent a e-mail form one pc to a other pc whitin my
domain. Yes. I have 3 pc, one of them is my web and e-mail server. On that
pc I changed smtp setting in the php.ini to localhost an after that to the
IP of the PC. In both cases it return an error. If I change it to the
mailserver of my ISP, it doesn't return a error. Only no one wil get a
email.
