Hi,

My php script not sending email. Bouncing back. My host said they are not installed phpsuexec as it gave them problems once.

So is there any way the script can be changed, to make it send email?

Thanks.
Radhika

Hi testing,

Maybe the hosts server and Exim problem, I take it they are using cPanel.

Could I see the code?

Is it actually a hotmail address? Check it's not a general network problem by trying readfile("http://www.hotmail.com")

I have a friend who was encountering this problem while setting up his mail server. Only solution he found was to send via his ISP. Not sure if they changed something on their end, but it is the same error. I'll run a test on my server real quick. It may be that they only allow sending through their SMTP upon SMTP AUTH compleation. If that's the case, they are possibably too paranoid.


WOOP!

Interesting... sucks to be dependant on hotmail right now...

So they are having some network problems...

Erm, hotmail, not your ISP/hosting provider.
