can't get mail to work

[chancho]

Here are my php.ini directives:
SMTP = localhost
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

I am running PostCast Server, an SMTP server, on a winXP machine.

Here is my code:
$to = '[e-mail]';
$subject = 'Jobs on the Road email verification';
$message = 'test';
if ( mail( $to, $subject, $message ) )
{
print 'Sent';
}
else
{
print 'NOT Sent';
}

As you can see, very straight forward, but it doesn't work. I know that it is not a problem with PostCast because I sent an email out via my email client using my local SMTP server. Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried just about everything.😕

It might cause of you didn't specify your SMTP server to be use in php.ini.

Recently, I find PEAR have very well solution for mail handling. YOu can refer to PEAR Mail . YOu can either choose to use the default sendmail or specify a SMTP server to handling the outgoing mail.

Thanks
