Hi all, im am working on a mail validation test program. It appears to be working up until if(getmxrr($Domain, $MXHost)) ; i have read on goolge that this happens when the script is run on a windows server!The error is:Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getmxrr() in D:\hshome\nigel\pmigroup.ie\cp\Scripts\PHP\testmail.php on line 20Anyone any idea how to get around this to ensure the domain is correct in the email?Thanks

Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms. Try the PEAR class Net_DNS.
