open your php.ini and search for smtp configoration, change the "localhost" to your isp smtp server :biggrin2:

And if he doesn't have access then he can ask his host. If they don't know how to do it then I believe there is a thread here which explains how to do it.

What operating system does your host use? Not all hosts offer an smtp server due to operating system. I think linux systems don't support it. I think windows does. I think unix does too.

well, if the operating system is Windows ME he is most likely on a home computer not a server

In that case it might support smtp. Best to check though.
