First of all, I wasn't sure which post of yours to reply to, but
since Rob replied here, I'll jump in on this one.

What he means is to do the following (since you're on Windows):

1.) Click the Start menu.
2.) Click `Run`
3.) Type: telnet
4.) When telnet starts, type: open  25
(Note: Replace  with the correct server address)
5.) If it connects, type: EHLO
  5b.) If it doesn't connect, then investigate the possible reasons why.

Hope that helps with the part your testing now, Diana.

Fw: [PHP] cant mail

2007-09-06 Thread Diana Castillo


sorry I dont know how to run that telnet command, it doesnt work in my dos 
window.  I downloaded absolute telnet but I dont know how to send a message 
withit.


as far as sendmail_from, I already have that set to an email, so that isnt 
theproblem.


Could it be that in out look express it says in my mail setup "My server 
requires authentification"?

Run telnet  25, type EHLO  and see if he
talks to you

No anonymous relaying ?!

Set the From header, caus maybe your smtp doesn't relay for
everyone :-)

mail ($addressee, $sub, $body, 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]');

or write it into your php.ini at...

sendmail_from NULL PHP_INI_ALL

(found at http://de3.php.net/mail, Runtime Configuration)

So far!
Rob
