I have php installed on my PC as well as an apache webserver and mysql. I am
using cox.net as my cable internet provider. They block port 25 but I do not
know if that affects what I am trying to do... which is:

use the mail() function to send email for my user activation script. I am
trying to test everything for my website on my computer before I pay for
hosting. When I run the registration script I get this:

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header
missing in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\campushotties\reghandle2.php on line 137

now the funny thing is i have the following code in my php.ini file:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.east.cox.net
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

from the error message one would think that the email would be delivered but
with a bad "From" address field. However, nothing is delivered. I also tried
switching the smtp_port to port 26.. that didnt work either.

Thanks for any help,
Pat
