Mailform

Hi,

i am a newbie with php .

Why does the following not work on lycos free account???????

<?PHP
$to = $_POST["to"];
$from = $_POST["from"];
$mes = $_POST["mes"];
mail($to, $from, $mes);
?>

Up this is a html form with fields to from and mes.

what is the simplest mailform.

Probably because they don't want people abusing their mailservers.
If you get proper hosting, your script will work.
