Mail() function and IIS

[faraco]

I'm having some trouble when I try to use PHP mail function on my Windows 2000 Pro.

I'm using the code listed below:

---

<?php
$toaddress = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Feedback";
$mailcontent = "testing...\n";

if (mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent))
echo "Feedback Submitted";
else
echo "Error";

?>

In fact, no error occurs, the "Feedback Submitted" is shown but the email never arrives to my ISP mailbox.

My SMTP Virtual Server is running and appears to be ok because my mailer is configured to send emails through it (and they are been delivered properly!).

My php.ini file appears to be correctly configured as you can see:

---

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost; for Win32 only

; For Win32 only.

sendmail_from = me@localhost; for Win32 only

Anyone can help me?

Does your smtp server logs show any errors? It may not accept connections to 'localhost', or send from 'localhost'. You might need to explicitly specify the mail server's domain in the config file.

Here you can see my SMTP log after a try.

I've also tried to use 'faraconet' (my machine name) and 127.0.0.1 and, again, the email sent was not recieved.

I'm using PHP 4.1.2 under Windows 2000 Pro (SP2).

I'm having the exact same problem.
If you figure it out, please let me know at [e-mail], and I'll do the same!!!!

I had a similar problem with APACHE, then discovered the following:

1. php.ini was missing from WINNT directory. I had tried putting it in \WINNT\SYSTEM32 where it is not detected.

2. You will not receive any error message if you used the php.ini-recommended ini file, as it has display_errors = Off. Change to On if you want to see the error messages during test.

3. Set the following to your ISP smtp server and email address:
   [mail function]
   ; For Win32 only.
   SMTP = smtp.surewest.net

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [e-mail]

4. After making any change to php.ini, save the file, stop and restart the APACHE (or other) server.

The display_errors setting is already ON (default value).
