I have searched various other places for an answer but have found none. I imagine that the problem is caused by something simple that I am doing wrong but if not this will be going on a Linux server when it works is there another commonly used way of sending mail that the web hosting service will not complain about setting up. Also I don't think there should be any major difference between php script for Windows or Linux is that right? Thanks Sean
