Thanks Neil...I went back to the php.net docs for "mail" and picked up their
example, with this syntax:
<?php
$to = 'y...@you.com';
$subject = 'Test mail';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: m...@me.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: w...@me.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
(I've replaced the actual "to" and "from" to dummy addresses)...still doesn't
work...I don't get an error when running the script, but no mail is sent.

Can you telnet to port 25 on the server hosting the SMTP service?
Use something like Wireshark to watch what actually happens?
Does the mail() call return true or false?
Can you upgrade to PHP 5.30 and try setting the mail.log [1]?
Regards,
Richard.

Hi,
Have you tried smtp = 127.0.0.1 in php.ini ? I looks like PHP can't
even connect to the smtp service.

Hi All: Just joined the list.
I'm having problems configuring mail in PHP. I have PHP 5.2.9
installed on
server 2003 std with sp2 installed. The default SMTP service is
running.
I'm running Wordpress without any problems, except for
configuring mail.
My php.ini file looks like:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;smtp = localhost
;smtp = 127.0.0.1
smtp = 192.168.1.6
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = m...@mydomain.com
I've tried each of the three server addresses above, and none of
them work.
If I try to run a simple test like:
<?php
$to = "m...@mydomain.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "m...@mydomain.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
$headers must be terminated by "\r\n"

You still aren't terminating each line of $headers with the "\r\n" pair.
This is required by the RFC, and failing to do so can produce unexpected
results, depending on the software processing it.

I hope these two addresses are different. I had problems getting mail() to
work when they are the same. Never found out why ;-)
You should test the return value to see if the agent is accepting the
mail. Something like:
if (! mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "Failure to accept mail!";
}
is enough to know if it's accepted or not.

Hi
if you just want to have mail working, and are not insistent upon using
mail(), I would suggest looking at the PEAR::Mail package. It is worth
the effort.

Do not use to or from fields in the 'User <u...@address.com>' , is
doesn't work on Windows. If I recall correctly, the function silently
fails with these.

Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.
Mail() was definitely failing when I added some code to echo back the
boolean response.
I tried sending to a different server where I could monitor what was going
on, and Mail() opened a connection through the local SMTP service, but the
service was sending a HELO of the Windows server name, not a FQDN, and my
other mailserver was rejecting based on that. If I added a rule to allow
relaying from the PHP server, mail went through fine.
That tells me PHP is able to control the local SMTP service...that is, it's
not a security issue on the server itself.
Now, I just have to figure out why it's not working if "localhost" is
specified in php.ini.
Unfortunately, this is a production server, and I can't change php.ini to
test except during off hours :(
