Hello I would like to say thank you for any help you might give me.

I'm new to Apache / PHP and MySQL
I have all them up and running propertly I think.
I want to make a PHP online game and I need to set up an email server so I can have and authincation system. When the player creates an account I want the computer to email the player a link the have to click on to make there account active.

I have a Comcast 8mbits broadband connection
My server is running at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
My PHPinfo file is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/phpinfo.php
My FormMail File http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/formmail.php

I have the PHP.inf file email stuff set up smtp.comcast.net port 25
I see nowhere in the php info file where to put in my username and password for the smtp server.

but last time I tried to send email I accedently spammed my smtp server and they put a port 25 block on my modem they thought someone was using my account to spam mail people. I finally gotten the block off my modem and would like to try to set it up again but im a little afraid to try again because of what happened last time.

This is the script Im using:

<?php// Add as many Names/ Departments -- e-mail addresses as you want here$eMail[] = array( 'Information', 'richard.tester@gmail.com' );$eMail[] = array( 'Tech Support', 'richard.tester@gmail.com' );// CC sender?$ccSender = True;//  Handle older versions of PHPif( ! isset( $_GET ) )  $_GET = &$HTTP_GET_VARS;if( ! isset( $_POST ) )  $_POST = &$HTTP_POST_VARS;if( ! isset( $_SERVER ) ) $_SERVER = &$HTTP_SERVER_VARS;?><HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Mail Me!</TITLE><?php  if( ! isset( $_POST["EMail"] ) ) {?><script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- Beginfunction emailCheck (emailStr) {/* The following variable tells the rest of the function whether or notto verify that the address ends in a two-letter country or well-knownTLD.  1 means check it, 0 means don't. */var checkTLD=1;/* The following is the list of known TLDs that an e-mail address must end with. */var knownDomsPat=/^(com|net|org|edu|int|mil|gov|arpa|biz|aero|name|coop|info|pro|museum)$/;/* The following pattern is used to check if the entered e-mail addressfits the user@domain format.
