Andy,

oops - yes I am making a call to the mail function:

$success = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Now, this is running on a Windows Host so would the mail logs be created
automatically and would I need to check with the ISP as to the location or
is this defined in the php.ini file?

Vic
