I have an Intranet Apache webserver on a corporate network, and on one of my pages, I need to send out emails to a list in a MySQL database.
Problem is we have an Exchange server within the network that handles all incoming/outgoing emails, but my php codes are not able to send out emails. Upon checking with the network administrator, I was told that the Exchange server will not accept SMTP connection and the only way for me to send out emails through the Exchange server, was to use a MAPI component. I can't even send out to an external SMTP as the corporate firewall will not allow it.
Is there a way for me to use MAPI to send emails using PHP on an Apache webserver? I was told that another option is to have an external program, eg. VB, C++, etc... that I can call using PHP, to connect to the Exchange server using MAPI. Any idea where I can get such a program?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
