hie,

i hope u guys here can help me. i'm trying to use the mail() function to send out emails from my computer. i am running PHP 4.1.1 and Apache 2.0.43 on Win2K. i tried sending an email using the code below:

<?php
$email ="chungss@yahoo.com";
$subject="Test 123";
$message="Testing PHP mail";
mail($email, $subject, $message);
?>

after executing the code, i got the error:
Warning: Failed to Receive in E:\WEBPO\mail.php on line 5

i've read alot of articles/forums explaining the mail() function or setting up the php.ini file, including the ones inside this webmastermalaysia.com. here is my php.ini settings:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.tm.net.my

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = xxx@tm.net.my

please help!!!

Most mail servers will not allow relays, in order to block malicios spammers from using them as relay servers - i've try this smtp.tm.net.my, some time can/cannot.

Currently you are running win2k, if your IIS server on win2k running recent version, localhost should work since it comes with a built-in mail server. Refer to the online help for information on configuring it correctly (www.microsoft.com)

Thanks for the help. But I would really like to make it work using the Apache web server for some reasons. I've recently installed a mail server, ArGoSoft Mail Server, and now the error I got is this:

Warning: Server Error in E:\WEBPO\mail.php on line 5

Am I getting closer to solving the problem? Or I'm still stucked with the STMP thingie?

chungss,
be4 u using/try u'r mail server. Firstly you must setting the TCP services for XP.

Open your internet connection (IC) eg. dialup/lan. then right click choose properties.

after your IC propertise up, then select the advances tab.
then check the box internet connection firewall.
after that click the setting button below.
next step, on the services tab click add button.
fill the blank field.

Description:
MAIL SERVER SMTP/POP3

NAME/IP
YOU IP/PC NAME

EXternal PORT
25/110

Internal Port
25/110


* do two times SMTP and POP3/ for the best result restart the pc after finish!

good luck!~

note:
if u'r using build in mail server services, on the services tab just check STMP/IMAPS/POP3 services.
