2. Use the debug functionality of class.smtp.php. To do that, in your own script add the debug level you wish to use. An example of that is:

$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication $mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port $mail->Host = "mail.yourhost.com"; // SMTP server $mail->Username = "name@yourhost.com"; // SMTP account username $mail->Password = "your password"; // SMTP account password

Notes on this

$mail->SMTPDebug = 0; ... will disable debugging (you can also leave this out completely, 0 is the default $mail->SMTPDebug = 1; ... will echo errors and messages $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; ... will echo messages only ... and finally, the options are 0, 1, and 2 ... any number greater than 2 will be interpreted as 2

And finally, don't forget to disable debugging before going into production.

Enjoy!
