Hello guys,

I have a question, May be i am wrong but i have doubt,
If some body explain it either i can or not...
Can i sent email to my local pc server then i read it.

Explanation: For example i have a form where i put email,
click on send button ,page executes and send mail. But
is it possible to send this mail to local server on my pc,I mean offline internet.
Without internet connection.
I have apache with php,mysql And Windows server 2003.
Then a script or software through which i read that mail.

I want this only to check my scripts without uploading it to the
internet server.

Thanks

    Yes, you can do it. You need to run a mail server on your local machine that is configured to listen for the email address that you are sending to. Then PHP needs to be told that the SMTP server is localhost.

    Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Windows so you might need some help getting something like that installed.

    Google for: install windows mail server

    or something like that.

    Then you will have to point your mail client (Outlook or Eudora?) to localhost to check your mail. Again, this is not something I've done in Windows so I can't help you there.
