Perhaps it is your script and not the mail servers? ;)

Does your host not provide a mail server?

PHP should by default use the server it is hosted on to send mail, and this should work from your host.

If your host is not giving you a mail server, I strongly recommend going elsewhere!

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Test the script from a server that's configured. I've never actually had an eMail get sent from my own computer.

That said, if you want, just PM me with a username and password, and I'll set up an account for you on one of my hosting packages and I'll give you the POP/SMTP access. (Mind you, it will have a quota of about 20 megabytes.)
