Hi,

I am new to this topic of sending emails.. Can u please guide more. How to use gmail smtp which u are talking about. I need to create a password recovery page and ask users their email id after they submit either send a link to change password or send the password to them. How do i do it plzz help

smtp (simple mail transfer protocol) is subject of domains. like if you have gmail id then you probably can use smtp.gmail.com. if you have your own mail server then you can check it by typing 

telnet mail.domain.com port

in dos window. look here for more

You may test the gmail smtp here by typing

telnet smtp.gmail.com 25

Ok,

How do i know SMTP server is running on my PC.. IF not how to i install it or configure it? Plzz help

i think we can't, sending mail on network servers requires authentication and smtp configurations.
