Hi Paul,

Thanks.  We are on PHP 4.x and Windows 2003 server and looking through 
the directories through FTP, there doesn't appear to be an existing 
PHP.INI file...the tech support is directing my client in what settings 
to configure in PHP.INI (Port 25 and STMP=localhost and so on)...I'm 
assuming for PHP 4.x I have to create this PHP.INI file?

Is it worth trying the below on a 4.x platform?
