Yes, that is the right directive. You need indeed set it to your ISP's or hosting providers SMTP.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I've set my local php.ini file to the same settings as my hosts php.ini but I am getting<br />
<br />
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for info@rwsd.co.uk<br />
<br />
where the latter is the email address I'm trying to send to<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
