Did you set up the email account in the mail.config?

Yes... Everything is working fine when I use the same mail settings from another demo website...

Please help

And did you setup the email in the board settings as email address for the forum?

yes i did...its same as my credentials for sending email...nothing is working out..should i host my forum online and check whether its my local machine issue...what you suggest..??? And i forgot to tell you that even uploading option is not working for avatar..or for some attachment...

I am tensed...kindly guide me...

Sorry but with that issue i can not help you, this is an issue with your server not with yaf. Because it seems that your server blocks the outgoing connections it could be a firewall issue or an proxy.

so should i host my yaf online...does that make any differnece...???

You only need to make sure that the server or pc you run yaf on Dont block any outgoing connections to the internet.
