PHP and SMTP on WIN2K

[wscreate]

I have PHP 4.2.2 setup on Win2K, Service Pack III.

I cannot get PHP to send mail on my Win2K server. I know it has to do something with the php.ini file and the following lines....

---

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost ; for Win32 only

; For Win32 only.

sendmail_from = [e-mail] ; for Win32 only

The SMTP server on the Win2K machine uses the default IP of the server.

What do I need to adjust in the php.ini settings or SMTP settings to get PHP and SMTP to work together properly on this WIN2K machine?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you try using the IP address? Maybe there is a problem resolving localhost to your server's IP...

I found that for some reason it doesn't read those settings from the ini file - you have to set them in your script.

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

and then it works.
