This should be the fully qualified domain name or IP address ofhte SMTP server that you want to use. If you look in your configuration in Outlook, you should be able to find the SMTP server that you have access to. But note that if that server requires SMTP AUTH (username and password to send mail), you can;t use PHP's mail function directly,. You'll need to use one of the mail classes. > > > > ; For Win32 only. > > > > sendmail_from= [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for Win32 only This is correct. It should be the email address from which teh mail should be sent. I beleive PHP uses this as the SMTP MAIL FROM parameter (not to be confused with the From: mail header ). > > > > but i got warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at > "POP" port > > 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use > ini_set() > > in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\do_feedback.php on > line 12 > > -- > jackson miller > > cold feet creative > 615.321.3300 / 800.595.4401 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > cold feet presents Emma > the world's easiest email marketing > Learn more @ http://www.myemma.com > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > ===== Mark Weinstock [EMAIL PROTECTED] *************************************** You can't demand something as a "right" unless you are willing to fight to death to defend everyone else's right to the same thing. *************************************** __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
