Unless you can use another SMTP host you will have to get your admin to renable you. Most of the time accounts get disabled for spamming. If you were disabled for spamming, then please do not ever use e-mail again. If not, it should be easy enough to explain and get turned back on.

Well you could use your own SMTP mail account to send mail.All big softwares do have this feature.I think so even drupal must be having this feature.Check it out in the Admin panel of Drupal.Or if you know coding then you could integrate it yourself.

I have the same problem, you can use the same solution as i do.

If so, the solution i came across is simple, just insert the contact form at your Xisto.com free hosting account, and in your another free hosting service, insert the link to the web contact form to your Xisto account.

You want to see an example? See my free flash clocks website at awardspace.com, notice that the link to send me an email is actualy to a page at Xisto.com url:

dear goldrain use Mail tag in php

with mail tag in php you dont need smtp service , you can find many mail tutorial in internet and you can find mail tag in http://php.net/

 

 

Well you need SMTP for that.

It uses the SMTP account of the Host/Server.

If the Server Administrator has disabled this feature then the mail() function cant o anything and you will be getting php fatal errors.

But Xisto has this enabled and also no limit of email to send.

So you could send them with the mail tag.

 

However there are certain limitations if you want to send a bulk mail to many users.

By many i mean more than 50 in a circle.

 

Hope this information helped.
