http://www.zistyle.info/cultivatedcloset/contact.php

heres the code (please dont comment on its quality, i already know it needs a few improvements...i still have some revamping to do on it, but it did work 3 days ago....)

Are you using linux? (postfix?)

 

Why dont you have a look at the mail log and see what it says, it may give you some useful info:

 

probably:

/var/log/mail.log (or something similar)

 

If you are using windows, then im not sure where the mail log is.

 

cheers,

tdw
