Can you elaborate? There are a lot of restrictions on mail to prevent phishing, spam and spoofing in general, so the problem may be with the mail you are trying to send. We'd need to see the actual code you're using in order to help, and know something about the frequency of the mail as well. And please note that some mail service providers occasionally discard mails originating from the Free Hosting servers silently (no error messages or returns) due to abuse by other account holders (Outlook.com, formerly Hotmail, has been a problem recently).

it was sendmail() i had to use smtp. it wouldn't send emails with the sendmail() function. anything i used the sendmail() function wouldnt be delivered but when i used smtp it worked.

i have a membership program and it wasnt sending emails out to the users so i had to manually add them into the system. but i figured it out tho. i just will use smtp from now one. i don't know why sendmail() wasn't working tho.

Just FYI: SMPT to externals isn't supported, so if you're going outside of x10Hosting and it's working, you're seeing a temporary config error that should soon be fixed. Everything has to go through the outbound spam filter/quantity regulator, has to have a plain text part, and must originate from a valid email address belonging to your hosting account (that is, spoofing the From header isn't allowed). If you're using x10Hosting's SMTP server, you should be okay.

In my case i was able to send mails through php mail() function to Outlook, but now it seems that there is a problem with the SMTP server.
