sending e-mail in windows

[sauser]

Hey guys anyone knows if there is aporgram available that could send e-mails in windows like a send mail program in UNIX so i could just do an external command from php and send an e-mail.

Any ideas?

Why not use PHP and something like PHPmailer? (

http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/)

you would need a pop3 malserver to accept the emails and you can use the imap functions to access and manage the emails thru a web interface...have a look at the imap functions at

http://www.php.net/imap

Yes, mail works on Win32.

But you have to set up your SMTP settings in php.ini, and you have to have a mail server available. PHP does not send mail on its own, even when using something like PHPMailer.
