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

Is it possible to use the mail() function without any network
connection on windows xp, and if possible how do you do it on the
php.ini?
Remember: Everything seem to be working fine except the mail()
function, yet.
Thanks in advance
