I'm having trouble sending email. PHP/mySQL/Apache is running on a Windows XP machine and we have an internet and email proxy. I have a script that connects to the internet through the proxy to grab html source code from external websites for checking links, but it doesn't seem to work with email and I dont think there's a SMTP or POP3 server installed on this Windows machine to send email with.
Do I have to have a SMTP/POP3 server installed on this machine and would it be hard to do? Would I still have to connect through the proxy if I installed a SMTP/POP3 server?
Or should I request help in modifying php.ini and continue working with the script that connects through the proxy?
Please advise on what route would be easiest. Any other additional information would be helpful. Thanks.
