mail on NT

[TGixer]

Ok, so i have READ thru all the threads here...followed all the suggestions and still cant mail

i have php.ini set

smtp = mail.domain.com
sendmail_from = [e-mail] (is this ok?)

here is my sendform.php

<?php 

$msg = "Sender Name:\t$_POST[sender_name]\n";
$msg .= "Sender E-Mail:\t$_POST[sender_email]\n";
$msg .= "Message:\t$_POST[message]\n\n";

$recipient = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Web Site Feedback";

$mailheaders = "From: My Web Site <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $_POST[sender_email]\n\n";

mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

what am i missing?

i am running win Nt, php 4.2.1, apache 2.0.39

the mail server is NOT running locally on my machine...but its on the same network. does this matter.

no email is being sent

TIA,
TGixer

Would you mind posting what you did on here so that other people can see how to do it if they have the same problem?

I found that PHP doesn't read the SMTP or sendmail_from from the .ini file for some reason under Win32 - so set the options in your script.

ini_set("SMTP","mail.yourdomain.com");
ini_set("sendmail_from","[e-mail]");

HTH

I haven't run into that problem id10t, when I set them on the Windows 2000 server at work the php scripts picked them up right away. Did you restart the IIS service after making the changes? And since it is MS product sometimes the only way to help it is a full system restart.

Not using IIS, but Apache 1.3.24 . After setting it in the ini file, I couldn't send mail, so I asked my mail admin to take a look and he reported back that while it was reaching the server, it was from the default "no user" account. Setting it in the script was the only way I could get it to work.
