Hi everyone --
My current client's app is a PHP 4 site running on a Windows box (don't
ask...I have no idea why).
Because it is a stable setup and typically outperforms a LAMPP stack. I use
this since day one and even before my PHP time for both development and
production use.
I'm trying to use the mail() function and
the mail isn't cooperating.
(Two things that I noticed in phpinfo() are that Internal Sendmail
Support for Windows is enabled and the Zend engine is installed.
I never got the mail() function to work right on Windows. There are tools
around. I did try once the Unix Utilities from Luckasoft (get them here:
http://luckasoft.com/download/UUtils_setup.exe). It is a freeware package for
Windows that mimics sendmail. It has a GUI configuration program and accepts
the same shell command format as known from Unix. But since this is a client's
box installing extra stuff is probably the least desireable approach.
So maybe I could/should be using another method to send the mails, or
there is a trick that I'm not aware of that I need to use to get this
to work?)
Well, there are other means. You may even google for the CLI of Outlook
assuming it is setup and configured right.
It's not necessarily super high volume but we will be sending a
significant amount of automated emails to registered people on the site.
Thanks for any help...
Well, I guess once it works volume becomes a concern only when you send a lot
of messages.
Sorry, I'm not excessively useful here.
