Re: [PHP] Mail function problems
On Windows, you need SMTP set. If you can't set it in php.ini, you might try .htaccess, but I suspect that is locked down and you can't... You could try things like: Install Pegasus email client, and use it from http://php.net/exec to send email. Install some kind of class from http://phpclasses.org that lets you choose your own SMTP server, and the PHP code in that class handles the mail protocol rather than using PHP's builtin code (which is tied to php.ini settings) Note that the built-in code will be faster but the mail() function is never suitable for mass high-volume emails.

[PHP] Mail function problems
Hi all, Has anyone had this problem before? I have a web server that resides on a windows platform (According to phpinfo()).

Re: [PHP] mail function problems
Hi Dan I (and others I know) have similar probs of seemingly disappearing emails - I thought it was down to mail filtering because I cant think of another explanation (but I dont know that for sure). I was given some advice here yesterday so I am forwarding you the mails.

I am working with a client with a different hosting vendor, they are using PHP 4.2.3, which I guess was a recient upgrade, anyway I was informed by the client that he wasnt getting email submissions from the website, but he was getting other emails, to those same accounts that were from outside the website. Short story long, I took one of the functions that uses the mail function inside of it, and I placed it on my server, and it worked flawlessly, place the same exact code on back on the other site, and nothing. Oh and I dont have access to their error logs. :( What sounds wrong? What sounds bad? Any thoughts? Anything i can look for? thanks, dan __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [PHP] mail function problems
They found the problem, the webserver that the client was on had the wrong path to sendmail, a correction in php.ini and a restart and it was working again. --- Debbie Dyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Dan I (and others I know) have similar probs of seemingly disappearing emails - I thought it was down to mail filtering because I cant think of another explanation (but I dont know that for sure).
