Setting Up SMTP Server And Mail()
I've never seen a clear and useful post about setting up an SMTP server and getting the mail function to work properly. Some info about my system: Windows XP Home (SP2) Apache 2.0.XX PHP 5 MySQL 4.1 ActivePerl 5.8.7 (If anyone knows how to set this up with apache, please send me a pm, thanks) I'd really like if someone could post a few links or someinfo on how to set up php's mail stuff From what responses I've gotten in the past, I think I need an SMTP server installed on my computer, when I googled, the only results that I seemed to get were servers I would have to pay for. I'd also like to know about configuring PHP's mail functions (php.ini options) so that it will work corectly.....

Windows Server Having Problems Sending Email From A Script
I'm on a hosted windows server and having problems sending email from a script. My host won't change the php.ini and i'm wondering what is the best solution to a problem that is frustrating me no end. I'm using the mail() function and everything appears okay script wise. Its just my emails are not being sent, most likely because the SMTP is not defined.

Email-a-friend Feature
i am considering adding a feature to my project that will allow users to send an email to a friend which contains a link to the current page. i've seen this in many places on the internet such as msnbc.com, etc. the user will be able to enter a friend's email address and write a short message. most of the email message (a greeting, a link, some text) will be beyond the user's control. but they will be able to type a short message. do spammers generally attack this kind of feature? in the event it does get attacked, is there any reliable way to detect spamming like screening by IP or something?

SMTP Server Response: 503 This Mail Server Requires Authentication
I get this any time I try to send an email to someone that IS NOT in the domain of the company: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 This mail server requires authentication when attempting to send to a non-local e-mail address. Please check your mail client settings or contact your administrator to verify that the domain or address is defined for this server. in corpevent.php on line 21 I have it setup like this (I removed the email address domain...but its correct in the code): // INI Settings // ini_set(sendmail_from,"info@domain.com"); ini_set(SMTP,"mail.domain.com"); ini_set(smtp_port,"25"); $headersĀ = "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"; $headers .= "From: info@domain.com"; $to = $_POST['txtEmail']; mail($to,"Your Email",$theEmail,$headers); Why am I not allowed to send an email to anyone that doesn't have a "domain.com" at the end of the email?

Email Acknowledgement Using SMTP
There are several codes in PHP to send Emails using SMTP or any other technique. The normal process is that once you click the submit button, it displays a "message sent" or "message not sent" depending on your logging into the webserver and other facts. If the "To Address (mail id)" is a wrong mail id also the message "message sent" popsup of the authentication is right. Later, in the course, we receive a mail in our webserver (senders mail id) that the message was not delivered. My query at this juncture is that "Can't this message not delivered to the target To Address (mail id) not be trapped in the sending PHP program itself". Please respond only if there are any solutions.

Remote SMTP Server
Hi, I'm trying to setup PHP so it will use a remote SMTP server. I'm going to sound like a newbie but how? I know you need to alter php.ini, change SMTP from localhost to the SMTP server and the address to the correct one but I wondered about passwords? Outlook Express needs a password so how would I do it. Unless anyone has any other suggestions/tutorials. Oh and just so you know my port 25 is blocked by ISP, I think that limits my choices. Ah forgot to mention, I managed to send a test email from my home machine to another account using Xmail server but I can't get it to work from a PHP script.
