in php.ini

code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

i think that is it

code:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = Admin@localhost.com

You need to change the

code:

SMTP =

line to your smtp server of your isp.

Unless of course your running a smtp server on windows. (which you aren't)

do u know any good smtp servers that i could run on my comp?

Theres no point at all in running one.
So just use your isp's.

Even if you did set up your own, you would still have to tell it to pass stuff onto your ISP's anyway.

how do u do that exactly?!

octopi · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2003 5:34 pm

to use your isp's mail server
just replace the word localhost with the address of your isp's smtp mailserver...

Homer_simpson · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2003 7:33 pm

well how do i figure the address of the isp's stmp server?

octopi · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2003 7:35 pm

Look in your isp's documention (website, books, cd's etc..)

Where else?

Homer_simpson · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2003 8:03 pm
