Php Mail Scripts

CyCo

Hello,
I'm running my own server on a windows machine. Perl, PHP all run, but any php mail script gives me a warning when executing.

Warning: Failed to Receive in C:\indigoperl\apache\htdocs\FormToEmail.php on line 81

...any clues what might need to be changed in php.ini ?

This is a problem with your smtp server, most require authentication before you can access them. In other words you have to hook up to receive before trying to send. Try finding a server that doesn't require that or start running a local program for sending mail.

Are you saying that my ISP SMTP server props can't send the mail? Authentication? How can I authenticate? I have even replaced the SMTP values in php.ini to several different "free" smtp servers with no success.
