Mail setting of PHP (Linux)

Dr_Freak2

Hello!Everyone.I have a question regarding mail setting in php.ini(Linux).

Basically,I use my Windows XP for my project development.After that,I will shift to use my linux server.However,I have no registered domain name.And I use my ISP mail server as my transmitting mail method.It all goes well on Windows.But in linux,I don't know how to set this up.Can anyone helps me to solve this problem?:p

Thanks a lot,guys and gals.😃

Thanks a lot.🙂

PHP mail() on Linux/Unix requires an SMTP server running on the host.

You can (and probably should) configure your SMTP server to relay the mail to your ISP. Specifics on how to do that depend on which server you are using (sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, et cetera).

Read the documentation that came with your Linux distribution.

yelvington,thanks for your reply.I'm waiting for it a long time.

By the way,I am using Sendmail as my mail server on linux.However,I really have to figure out how to configure it so I can use it and send that mail to my ISP mail server.Excuse me,would you mind telling me how to do it if you know?:p

Thanks a lot.Meanwhile,I will look for answer by myself.🙂

I haven't touched sendmail configuration in a long time -- it's notoriously tricky.

Most modern distributions use a file called sendmail.m4, which is then processed by m4 (a macro processor) to create the ugly sendmail.cf configuration file.

Find your sendmail.m4 file and put something in it like this

define(RELAY_HOST',smtp:my.relay.host.domain) define(SMART_HOST',smtp:my.relay.host.domain)

and then "make sendmail.cf" to regenerate the config file.

I think that's fairly close, but you should read the docs.
