but this is what come back

Warning: Failed to Connect in l:\program files\webroot\s endmail.php on line 5

so i am not sure is there something with my php/apache i dont know?

ok, try removing the "from".
[PHP]mail ("user@domain.c om", "Feedback From Results", $message);[/PHP] since the from is already in your php.ini

and/or in your php.ini, what is your smtp_port set to? (default: smtp_port = 25)

that still did not work but
SMTP =smtp.blueyonde r.co.uk

that is what i set to in php.ini file

do u have any exmple of how ur php.in file will look like on the mail function

[epots9]

SMTP = my_outgoing_mai l_server
smtp_port = 25

all u have to do is add "smtp_port = 25" (no quotes) under smtp if it isn't already there.
