Hello Guyz!

I would like to know if I have to install any "plug-ins" on my apache server in order to send e-mail from my .php pages.

If so could you please tell me which are those plug-ins?

No. You can send mail through PHP by connecting to an SMTP server. What OS are you using?

Sending mail is completely built into PHP. All you have to do is configure PHP.INI so it knows what SMTP server to connect to when sending emails.

See PHP mail() function:
http://www.php.net/mail

You can specify an SMTP server if the OS is Windows. If the OS is *nix, the path to sendmail is required. In fact on a *nix server it isn't possible to specify an SMTP server in the same way that it is possible for Windows, it must be the path to sendmail. Without a proper configuration the mail function won't work. You can also bypass the mail() function by connecting to an SMTP server directly.

how can i correct this error on windows:
Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for xyz@domain in filename

what is 550 5.7.1 ?

sometimes! it works well, but i don't know to work it always.

Permissions on the SMTP server i think, need to see if its set to allow anonymous relay.

Many shoes,

Yes, its now working.
