i have problem sending email using mail(). it was working couple of
weeks before but now on its not working ...i dont know whats the problem
and here is the code
if ($db_result) {
echo "Successful";
$to = $email;
$from = "msa...@gmail.com";
$subject = "Password Request From";
$message = "PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL\n\n";
$message .= "unless others can read your email.\n\n\n";
$message .= "Password: ".$password;
$headers = "From: ".$from;
// Set the name of the server for mail processing. This should
be
handled at the server level but the following
// statement allows dynamic setting of the SMPT server for
testing
purposes.
ini_set("SMTP","mail.sunet.com.au");
// Attempt to send the mail message.
//$db_result = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
}

I have this same problem.
I have Windows Server 2003 SP2 IIS 6. PHP6-dev (also same problem with
5.4)
Port 25 is open and I can telnet to the server from my home machine
completely outside the network and manually send an email. So I know
that SMTP is not the problem and relaying is not a problem.
Here's my script:
<?php
$success = mail("m...@address.tld", "subject", "body", "From: My Name
<m...@address.tld>");
echo ($success);
if ($success)
{
echo (" success!");
}
else
{
echo (" problem...");
}
?>
When I run this test script I see:
1 success!
However I never get an email. I have php.ini set to log errors (have
also tried display errors) and there is never any errors logged or
displayed.
php.ini SMTP section:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = m...@address.tld
phpinfo() shows all of this information properly (only after I moved
the .ini file into the PHP install directory.
I have PHPRC environment variable set to PHP install directory and have
added same directory to my PATH env var.
Mail was successfully being sent until another issue caused me to
uninstall and reinstall the SMTP Service portion of IIS.
I see no solutions or cause to this problem in this thread. Any new
news? Original issue was posted 6 years ago... I can't believe this is
still cropping up for people.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at
"mail.yourisp.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting
in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\1.php on line 7
There was an error

Hello guys, I see that you are having a lot of problem in sending email
and some of you might not even been receiving any emails. Couple of
things that you might need to check before sending any emails.
1- Anti-virus (make sure that the antivirus is not blocking port 25)
2- Your firewall, make sure that your fire wall are not blocking port
25, also make sure that you have your SMTP anable to receive email, you
can set that up in your Firewall - Start - Settings- Network Connections
- Advanced tab - Setting - exceptions "if you SMTP is not there, click
Add Port , on the name field you can write (SMTP TCP) and under port
type 25, then hit ok. do that again but with the same port and name but
with UDP.
3 - REALLY IMPORTANT. if you are behind a router , you ISP might
blocked 25 or you might just need to forward port 25 from your router
seetings "portforward dot com/"
4- If you want to know if your port 25 is open or available go to this
website canyouseeme dot org and on the field type 25 that will tell you
if your port is active.
-------
Something else you might try.
-==if you don't know if your SMTP is working or install, Click Start -
Setting - Control panel - add & Remove program - on the left side click
Add / Remove Window Components - under the Windows Components Wizard you
can see Internet Information Services (IIS) Click that and then Click
DETAIL (it's on the right side) after that you can see a list of the IIS
Server, Click or Check the SMTP Server __""""Window might ask you for
Window XP or your OS CD to install does files"""" make sure you have
that on hand if you want to do this step. Then say okay. Restart your
Apache server or you IIS server if you have one, then try to send your
email again..... It might work.....doesn't hurt to try. :) Good Luck
