Configuring sendmail options

[skiflyer]

So... I've got IIS 4.0 to work with, and PHP 4.2.3, and I'm going to start sending mail for the first time...

I'm looking at my phpinfo() and realizing, that none of my variables are set...

sendmail_from, sendmail_path, and SMTP

My question is two fold... are those all the variables I need to set?

And, can anyone point me towards a good FAQ or tutorial on how this works?

Running on NT 4.0 by the way, and I'm totally stuck, I'm just trying to use mail() and I get a server error... I'm guessing it's becqause my ini file is completely unconfigured.

On Win32, you only set SMTP and sendmail_from.

"SMTP" is the address or fully-qualified resolvable domain name of your mail server. "sendmail_from" is the sender's email address.

"sendmail_path" is used to tell PHP where the sendmail executable is located on the filesystem of *nix machines.

I assume you have an SMTP server available to use. What error are you getting?

I was getting "Server Error" because my SMTP server wasn't set... now I have things set, and I get a success... however the mail's not showing up. Have the IS people looking into it and making sure it's not just our filter snagging them as junkmail before I get too frustrated.

Oooo-la-la, new functionality, my favorite.
