Mail Service

Hi 

I would like my users to mail their friends outside the site and receive mail from outside source such as gmail, hotmail

how do i make it to do so my website is beyondsocko.com 

 Allowing your users to send emails is a lot easier than them receiving emails. Look into postfix, dovecot, postfixadmin, roundcube, spamassassin, pigeonhole, postgrey, cyrus-sasl, cyrus-sasl-plugins, and pam_mysql.

Letting them email users outside your site is easy; you can set the form up so they put in the to; email, and the from:email, and type the message and hit send; the script would use php mail().  The only thing is that it could be used for spamming.  I don't see a real need for this.  Could you explain the scenario?

when I try to send the email to an outsider it says profile not found please help

The form does not exist.  What you can do is to take the contact us form and rewrite it a bit to use for your purpose.  If you want it to pull the user's email from the database, then that would have to be added.  Otherwise, just add the to: bit, rewrite the code so that it uses the to: bit instead of sending to the admin's email.

 That "message" form you're seeing is for sending member to member messages.. That's why it's saying profile not found when you put an email address in the "to". You would have to modify the code to look for an "@" if you wanted it to go outside. About letting them receive outside mail on the site.. That would be a major project.
