For testing purposes I want to be able to send emails using PHP on my local windows/apache platform.
I installed a free mail server (Argosoft) and my problem is that I don't understand how I configure it.
It asks me to put the name of the DNS server IP address.. What is this?
In help, it asks me to find that name by typing C:>ipconfig /all ...
I thought my IP was 127.0.0.0 which represents http://localhost
What is the difference between the two?
What Windows has to do with IP address here?
Where do I define the SMTP address?
And what will my SMTP be after finishing the configuration?
It seems that I am really confused.
What I want is simply to use PHP mail() function to send emails, to others. Nothing more, nothing less. I am confused. Any help, small or big would be invaluable .
Thank you
Alex
