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.....

Test Mail() On Development Machine W/o Smtp Server
My development machine (WinXP, Apache 2.2.4) does not have an smtp server, and I don't really want to install one if I can help it. Does anyone know of a simple method of testing php scripts that employ mail() by simulating an smtp server and directing output to a text file or to an installed text editor. Right now I can modify the script to use something instead of mail(), then change it when I put into production, but I would really like to test the script in its production form w/o having to actually send email.

PHP SMTP E-Mail Almost Working
I wrote a PHP function to talk to SMTP servers directly and it works, it sends the message out. The problem I have is that gmail.com will show Unknown sender. As far as I can tell gmail reports the sender by the "Reply-To" field. I have been looking for information on how to get Reply-To to work but I'm not successful. Any Ideas.

$SMTP = Fsockopen(mail.example.org, 25);
I tried the following posted by Nickoons and get a parse error: unexpected T-string in this line - $SMTP = fsockopen("mail.example.org", 25); I had the same issue. My old server worked fine.. and when I migrated the site to its own dedicated box, this function stopped working even though sendmail was working just fine. I also noticed that PHP's mail() function is very slow. I run a mailing list, and I created a web-based system to manage and deploy all of these emails. I ended up creating my own function to replace PHP's mail() function, which A) works on my new system, and B) is many times faster than PHP's mail() function. Here it is, in case you'd like to use it. It uses sockets to connect directly to the SMTP server of your choice: function SendMail($ToName, $ToEmail, $FromName, $FromEmail, $Subject, $Body, $Header) { $SMTP = fsockopen("smtp.sitename.com", 25); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "HELO sitename.com"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "MAIL From: $FromEmail"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "RCPT To: $ToEmail"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "DATA"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "$Header"); fputs($SMTP, "From: $FromName <$FromEmail>"); fputs($SMTP, "To: $ToName <$ToEmail>"); fputs($SMTP, "Subject: $Subject"); fputs($SMTP, "$Body."); fputs($SMTP, "QUIT"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fclose($SMTP); } I believe I've modified the script sufficiently that it doesn't include anything specific to my configuration.. I apologize if I haven't. You'll need to replace "smtp.sitename.com" and "sitename.com" with your server's information.

How To Send Mail With SMTP
What I want to do, is create an email form, where the user can select emails by groups from a database. So based on what group the user selects, I'm guessing I'll use SQL select query to select the appropriate user emails and print them out to the address line of the form. But I need to know the actual coding for SMTP. Is it much more complicated than the mail() function?
