I'm trying to test this bizmail form using the web server that I set up on my computer. First I used 127.0.0.1 as the smtp server (in bizmail.pl), and I made it send to admin@localhost. That worked fine. (doesnt work if I try to send to a proper mail that is outside) But when I changed the smtp server to a proper one, such as the one that my isp gave me, in this case mail.optusnet.com.au it doesnt work >.< . Any help will be appreciated. thank you.

Well firstly MOST ISP's due to spam concerns dis-allow there SMTP address to be run on any server other than theirs. Now if you are running this server with them as the backbone provider of your hosting, and it is not realy a service they offer you will want to check with your ISP, since they have probably several blocks in place and they will be able to direct you as to what you can and can not do.
