I reloaded my php 5.0 .exe and checked smtp and pop so that they would load
When I checked my php.ini file I don't have a .dll for smtp listed. Is this
a problem?

I was able to send the email message after repairing the things you pointed
out, but
I still can't receive the email I am sending.

You mentioned (\r\n) and not sending headers
I removed the header and received an error message stating that It needed a
header.

can you advise further
