For the headers sent error, you could try putting ob_start(); before the header("locatuib: mindex.php") and then put ob_end_flush(); right after.

If that doesn't work, than you could use JavaScript to redirect... just echo the JavaScript in the PHP script.

As for the mail error, the mail uses SMTP to send message... the host, port and the password are all editable in the PHP.ini

As long as you fix the first error you shouldn't worry about the second. The reason for it is that the page headers were indeed already sent by an error message, so once you get rid of that (most likely - by specifying a correct SMTP host/credentials) you'll take care of a second.

Good luck!
