I have installed XAMPP on my Win2K PC. I'm trying to send email to myself using mail() but I don't receive anything. When I checked the MercuryMail SMTP Client window this is what it says:

Temporary error 249 (temporary MX resolution error) resolving 'smart.com.ph'.

Any of you guys have used MercuryMail or XAMPP before? Any help is very much appreciated.

I was thinking, can I just use my Outlook as my SMTP server instead? 🙁

Please help.

Thanks in advance!

    hello friend!!!

    i've also tried to send some email using XAMMP and mercury as SMTP Server but i've got the same problem. try using PostCast SMTP Server they have a Free Version for begginner like me. after installation just configure your php.ini (smtp setting). just replace it with your host name from your postcast setting.

    I hope that help you solve your problem. 🙂
