Try:
$config{'mailhost'}      = 'localhost';


That gets an error of "eMail Service not available"

I'll try your second suggestion of "ask your provider for the URL of the public SMTP-Server."

This is getting frustration.... Tongue

After going round and round with my web host (and threating to move), this is what I got from them,

Your Windows Server should be able to send outbound mail through it's own
SMTP components.  However, you need to allow the server to be able relay
through itself (send mail through itself).  I made sure that it is able to
do this.  Please let me know if the script is generating any errors as it
maybe useful for troubleshooting.

Below is the relevant part of the config file with notations in CAPS

Code:
   $config{'get_mail'}		= 1; # Set this from 1 to 0 if you want to use your own setting  
#   $config{'mailprog'}		= '/Your/Path/To/sendmail'; # no additional options please
 
# or Configure your MAIL HOST (SMTP)
  
#	$config{'mailhost'}	= 'mail.rhtubs.com';     SAYS IT SENT BUT I DONT GET ANYTHING
#   $config{'mailhost'}	= 'localhost';	     SAYS IT SENT BUT I DONT GET ANYTHING
#	$config{'mailhost'}     = '127.0.0.1';	 SAYS IT SENT BUT I DONT GET ANYTHING
#	$config{'mailhost'}     = 'rhtubs.com';	SAYS IT SENT BUT I DONT GET ANYTHING
#	$config{'mailhost'}     = 'www.rhtubs.com';  SAYS IT SENT BUT I DONT GET ANYTHING
#	$config{'mailhost'}     = 'http://www.rhtubs.com'; Error Server-Overload Please, contact the Auction Administrator if you belive this to be a server problem.
	$config{'mailhost'}     = 'mail01.inetu.net';

# Set this from 0 to 1 if the script is running with a real Web-Server
   $config{'web_server'}	= 1;





The last attempt of mail01.inetu.net is the setting on my personal email going through my hosts main mail server. It gave the same message saying it was sent, but I didn't get an email (and would think I'd need to put in the password somewhere for this).  Undecided

*sigh*........ any ideas?

Well.............. the problem appears to be with my server and mail system. It would appear the system wont, or can't send mail back to itself through this script...e.g. the server is on rhtubs.com and doesn't/won't send email to @rhtubs.com

In a fluke of frustration I changed my registered email to one on another domain, and it works just fine...................

oh and,    $config{'mailhost'} = 'localhost';    works.

Thanks
