Hi ,
I am using Apache and PHP on Windows and Linux machine. I want to enable SMTP for both. I am having the SMTP server enabled and an SMTP Mail ID.
On Windows, just providing the following details in php.ini , i am able to receive mails to my SMTP mail id,
SMTP: HYDPROJSMTP (smtp server name)
sendmail_from: (my smtp mail id)
I want the same on Linux. So, i did the following changes.
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = HYDPROJSMTP
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from =
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
But this is not working for me.
Can somebody help me out to resolve this issue??
Thanks,
Amita |

On which OS is the SMTP running? Sure that the Ports 25 and 110 not blocked by a firewall or something like that?

edit found in the online documentation http://de3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

SMTP string
Used under Windows only: host name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent with the mail() function.

Under Unix / Linux DON'T set that value! You have to configure sendmail for the right SMTP

Where the sendmail program can be found, usually /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail. configure does an honest attempt of locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it here.
