Hi All, Ash, Angelo,

Any ideas how to send an email in PHP on windows platform/xp on local
development machine.

System Configuration
PHP 5.2
Apache 2
No ISS
NO SMTP

Any trusted SMTP software to install on local development machine and how to
set it up with php to send an email?

Also just providing the SMTP server details in php.ini will not work for me
as this requires authentication/credentials etc..


Thanks,

Get PHPmailer and make a gmail account that you connect to and mail through.

accounts u/p in the script.

You can install any smtp server on your windows machine and the mail() will
work with default settings. You can check this out:

You only need a local SMTP server if you want to hold and relay mail.

If you want to send mail directly to the recipients SMTP server you
can do that with standard PHP.

getmxrr() is your friend here.

You provide it with the domain of the recipient and you get back the
SMTP server(s) associated with that domain.

Now, you can send the message to THEIR smtp server ...

ini_set('SMTP', xxxx);

where xxxx is one of the servers returned from getmxrr().

No authentication required.

Hi Richard, The problem is that if I am using any open source software or
any other pre-built software then I will not be able to manage through
ini_set.

Also http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html which vikash mentioned works
through outlook settings.

Anyways the below will help-

Personally, I always found hMailServer to be perfectly reliable as a =
relay on Windows - just install it and SMTP to localhost - nothing more, =
nothing less.

Hi,

As I know that php did't setting user name and password.
So, just install any smtp server with authenticaton set to "no
authentication"
Much list IIS smtp server.
