I did some research and found out that my ISP's SMTP server is
smtp.comcast.net.
That's what we like to see.
If I configure my mail functions to connect to this should my script be
able to send e-mails?
Research and Experimentation (yes, I did some!):
Yep, you're getting there ...
I tried connecting to it using this telnet command:
telnet smtp.comcast.net
If you don't specify a port number telnet will default to the 'telnet' port
which is 23.
But I got this:
Connecting to smtp.comcast.net..could not connect to smtp.comcast.net on
port 23. A connecting attempt failed because the connection party did not
properly respond after a period of time..
Then I tried this:
telnet smtp.comcast.net 25
A new window popped up and said this:
220 Comcast.net - Mailennium ESMTP/Multibox rwcrmhc11 #140
Did it work? So if I put smtp.comcast.net in php.ini should my e-mail
script work?
Yes it would work, providing that:
1) that the machine which you tried the telnet on is the same as your
webserver
2) Comcast really is your upstream provider and allows you to relay (send)
mail through smtp.comcast.net
