I have some issues with my SMTP setting I think. I am not positive how I 
will be able to get error msgs from the server. I have this statement  
die ("Couldn't open mail connection to server! \n"); 
This does not error out so I am thinking my 4smtp_server is not an issue.

Code:
<?PHP 
function sendmail($name, $from, $to, $subject, $body, $html, $charset ) 
{ 
$smtp_server = "mail.servername.com"; 
if (!$smtp_sock = fsockopen("$smtp_server", 25)) 
{ 
die ("Couldn't open mail connection to server! \n"); 
} 
fputs($smtp_sock, "HELO $smtp_server\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "VRFY $smtp_server\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "MAIL FROM:<$from>\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "RCPT TO:<$to>\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "DATA\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "From: $name($from)\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "X-Mailer: emailer1.0\n"); 
if ($html) 
fputs($smtp_sock, "Content-Type: text/html;"); 


else 
fputs($smtp_sock, "Content-Type: text/plain;"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "charset=$charser\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "Subject: $subject\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "To: $to\n"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "$body"); 
fputs($smtp_sock, "\n.\nQUIT\n"); 
fclose($smtp_sock); 
} 
  ?>  
  </body> 
  </html> 


Any thoughts/help.
Thanks

I don't know too much about mail headers, but you've misspelled $charset in
your fputs call.  Maybe that has something to do with the failure.

> fputs($smtp_sock, "charset=$charser\n");

Thanks for your sharp eyes Nik. But that did not help solve though.

I tried send mail too and it fails
This did not work either 
{ 
xmail("<4to>\n", "Subject:$subject\n", $body, 
"From: <$from>\n" 
."Reply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\r\n" 
."X-Mailer: emailer1.0\n"); 

Am I missing any logic here? 
Thanks 
Sri

Well, the "to" field should be either an email address or "name <email>".  I
don't think you should add newlines in those fields.

I think this has been mentioned every time someone's had a problem with xmail().
Get a simple message to send properly, then start worrying about adding
headers.  There's too many things that can be screwed up (e.g. \r\n vs. \n).


Good luck,
