Post Reply? I want to put a contact form on my website, and use mail.php to send a message to my mailbox, throught my SMTP, but when I exec this code: <?php require_once “Mail.php”; $from = “David <david@intarex.com>”; $to = “David Recipient <david@intarex.com>”; $subject = “PHP mail test”; $body = “Hi,nnHow are you?”; $host = “mail.intarex.com”; $username = “alpha”; $password = “aaassxxcc”; $ip = gethostbyname($host); echo(”<p>Send mail to: ” . $host .”(” . $ip . “)</p>”); $headers = array (’From’ => $from, ‘To’ => $to, ‘Subject’ => $subject); $smtp = Mail::factory(’smtp’, array (’host’ => $host, ‘auth’ => true, ‘username’ => $username, ‘password’ => $password)); $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body); if (PEAR::isError($mail)) { echo(”<p>Error</p>”); echo(”<p>” . $mail->getMessage() . “</p>”); } else { echo(”<p>Message successfully sent!</p>”); } ?> I get this result: — Send mail to: mail.intarex.com(80.38.238.144) Error Failed to connect to mail.intarex.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )] — but my smtp is up and working. Any ideas about this error? Thanks in advance.
