Wiki Wrote:Webhost Restrictions
Some webhosts have various restrictions on PHP mail. Some hosts require that the "From" address be a mailbox address on their server. Other hosts may disable the mail function completely. Please ask your webhost if there are any special restrictions they have on sending mail via PHP.
If your webhost has restricted that only mails from there own domain is allowed, try to edit the file inc/functions.php. Look for:
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
and include above: ini_set("sendmail_from", " [email protected] ");
Then it should look like this:
ini_set("sendmail_from", " [email protected] ");
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
YOURDOMAIN must be replaced by the domain where the forum is hosted.
PM me if you would like me to do this for you.
can anyone help me please ?

What do you think we're trying to do...??
Go to ACP > Configuration > Mail Settings > Additional Parameters for PHP's mail() > put this in there:
From: [email protected]
And change the line in the test file to this:
if(mail($to, 'Testing mail', 'This is a mailing test to see if PHP mail works.'))
to:
if(mail($to, 'Testing mail', 'This is a mailing test to see if PHP mail works.', "From: [email protected]"))
i did it..
then it showed like this
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\xampp\htdocs\forum\mail.php on line 6
PHP could not send the mail
what should i do then ?
Ask your host if they've setup mail correctly, there's errors on your host's end here.

what do you mean ? do i have to ask the host to open port 25 as smtp port ?
I don't know exactly what they'd need to do as I'm not great with mail but if you're getting these errors, something is misconfigured. This test is separate from MyBB so if the test fails, it's on the host's end.
