    Default php mail() doesnt seem to work from another country

    Hi there,

    I'm using the php mail() function on a server here in holland. It works fine for people from holland.

    Someone in France tried to send a message through our form and nothing happened.

    Does anyone have an idea how this is possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    It isn't. The country the request is from has no impact on the function. The address the email should be sent to might, but it isn't too likely.

    The obvious test here is to get someone else to test your page. Link here and one of us could try, or, maybe, more specically, you could try to get another person from France to do it to see if it really is related to France. If it is, it might work here, but not there.
    Though, as Twey said, probly not.
    Plus, you're sure the person is using it correctly?

    Hi there i contacted my host aswell and he installed the "ZendExtensionManager.so" php library which could sort this problem out.

    We only need to test it, the person from france hasn't replied to our request yet. But anyone who wants to send a test message through the following link is more than welcome.
