Hi everyone,
   I have a problem with new users trying to create an account via email...I have included an screencapture attachment with the resulting message. I setup my moodle on my own computer running Windows XP SP2, and using Xammp package(Apache2,PHP 5.0.5,MySQL) . I also put in my SMTP host name, user name and password, as supplied by my ISP (Comcast) in my moodle Configuration-->Variable setting.  If I cant get this working on my own computer, will Moodle setup right using a host provider? I really wanted to host my site on my computer....Thanks in advance....Helppppppppp!!!!sad

Most likely the problem is your email host setting.
The hostname should be like mail.yourisp.com
Could you make sure you've got the correct setting from your isp?
