This script hates me. lol

So, I'm installing an auction script (WeBid). Got it up mostly so I'm trying to test the emails and they aren't going through. No matter what I choose, it's not working. I'm using gmail, so I've tried setting it up with smtp and it won't even attempt to send it. I've tried using sendmail (which I would prefer) and it says it sends an email but I never receive it.

I'm not entirely sure where to go for help. I don't know if it's a server problem or if it's a script problem. Here is the website: http://asianauctions.x10host.com/index.php?

Let me know what other information is needed and I'll be glad to provide it.

Hi,

On free hosting, you can only send emails through our mail server, and you cannot connect to an external provider through SMTP, which is why you wouldn't be able to send emails through Gmail directly. It looks like your emails are now being sent through our mail server, but they are being dropped automatically. This can happen when there is a problem with the From header of the email. If you are setting the From header, please could you ensure that the address you set is present on your hosting account?

Thank you,

Okay. I took out the smtp information and created an email account and changed that int he script. I reset it to sendmail and tried a test email. I received it at the free hosting email (admin@asianauctions.x10host.com) and then tried to register a new account with my regular gmail address. I have yet to receive that email though.

Edit: Actually nevermind I did receive it, gmail just put it in the Spam folder for some reason lol. Thank you for your help!
