Admin Options ---> Email Server Configuration
Set the Email Mode to On. Choose the email component that is installed on your server. If you don't know what to choose, go here http://forum.snitz.com/archive/default.asp?catid=11&cattitle=Forum+Setup+Tools and download the Check Email Components script. Extract it to your forum folder, and run it from your browser. It will tell you what email components are installed on your server. Specify your email server and email address and you're done.

Thanks. I have done what you told me. CDONTS is the one that my server provide. So, I choose CDONTS. But the mail function still doesn't work. Is it because mail server address or what? Because I try to leave it empty, but it showed up the message that I have to enter mail server address. So, I just type "smtp.server". But the mail function doesn't work either. What can I do?

In place of the "smtp.server" you must place your mail server. example: mail.snitz.com or mine is mail.snowmobilefanatics.com Do you have your own domain and e-mail address through it?

Thanks for the answer
My mail server is

incoming mail server: mail.bbs.elosoft.com
outgoing mail server:please use your ISP's SMTP server

So, the only thing I can put is mail.bbs.elosoft.com But it still not working. What can I do? Thanks.
