Check with your hosting company to make sure you are using the correct SMTP server.

BTW: The variable should look like the following:

Code:
$db_smtp_server = "yourdomain.com";

I can't use my ISP SMTP server so I'm trying with several other servers that allows relaying and nothing happens.
The main SMTP server I'm tryin is smtp.cvtci.com.ar
can u test it?
the variable is set like this
$db_smtp_server = 'smtp.cvtci.com.ar';

Uh...You cannot use another server's SMTP server. It has to be within your network where your scripts are running.

Ask your hosting company for details. I do not know what SMTP software they are using or how they are using it.

This is an appropriate question to defer to them.

This is how they handle this:
They don't want non-clients use their smtp boxes so if I have to use ie: outlook to send mail I have to set my user id and password to do it.
Any workaround , All I know is that I can use the CDONTS components freely.
THanks.Fernando

There is no solution...You cannot use the send email routines in LINKS since your hosting company does not allow UNPRIVELEDGED users to send emails from web forms in your web site....

Here is the ultimate solution...Switch Hosting Companies.
