Re: [PHP-DB] [NB] Mail() question
The mail() function returns true if it functions, i.e. if you have all
the parameters correct, and that sort of thing. If the SMTP server
rejects the email, you'll still get true returned. I ran into this a
while back. Try and do a manual connection to the SMTP server from your
PHP machine and see if it works that way. It may be failing and you
don't know. If you have access to the mail logs, check those out too.

It always print mail sent, but I never got the email.

Can anyone tell me?

Re: [PHP-DB] [NB] Mail() question
EarthLink is my DSL ISP, so its smtp server is not likely to block my
mail.
Besides, I can send email with my mail program just fine.
I tried the similar thing on a friend's smtp server where I have access
to the log, weird thing is I didn't even see PHP trying to access the
smtp server.
I need to figure out why it's not working fast...
Thanks to your help.

Is it a windows server that you're using? SMTP only works for windows.
Anything else uses sendmail or equivalent.

Change the ini_set line to this:
$result = ini_set(SMTP, smtp.earthlink.net);

RE: [PHP-DB] [NB] Mail() question
Here is a quick article that discusses how to connect manually to an
SMTP server:
HOW TO: Test Windows 2000 IIS SMTP Services Manually
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;286421
Just substitute machine_name for your ISPs SMTP server. Run through
the tests and you'll be able to see what errors you're getting. You're
going to be doing the same thing that PHP is doing with the mail()
command, so you'll be able to see what errors PHP is getting, but not
returning.
Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP-DB] [NB] Mail() question
Ah, that must be it.
I am running a Mac OS X server, which is Darwin based.
Guess I should go with sendmail.
Thanks a lot.
