Hi,

You are trying to send mail via Google Mail, not your own localhost SMTP engine.

Is that your intention?

guessing from the error message, it seems that your SMTP and smtp_port
configuration is ignored(the error mentions localhost and port 25, which is
the default settings, that should be smtp.gmail.com and 587 by your config),
could you check, that you are editing the correct php.ini file?

Only Server versions have an MTA available, so if you are using XP,
Vista, or 7; for example, then there is no MTA listening on localhost,
hence the error.

See the documentation for mail(), in particular the notes for Windows
specifics, at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

However, this is only relevant as your .ini settings seem to be ignored.
Make sure this is in fact the ini file being used. use phpinfo() and
check the used ini path is the same as the one you think should be used.

I'm not sure, but I think you may be barking up the wrong tree here. I
don't know how you can use mail() to authenticate with gmail's smtp
server over TLS, as mail() does not have parameters for username and
password. You might be better trying the PEAR::Mail package

Check with your isp to see if they block smtp traffic. Most of the tme they
require you to use there smtp in an effort to thwart spammers

RE: Problem in sending email from localhost

1) Which SMTP server are you trying to use? On your local system? Or
smtp.gmail.com?
2a) If local system, which are are using? MS' SMTP or 3rd party like hmail?
Are you sure the server is configured properly and that the service is
running? Run this in command prompt:

netstat -ano | more

You should see something like this:

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2744

If not, then that's your problem. You don't have a SMTP server/service
running. Notice that last number. If you're running MS' SMTP, in the
taskmanager, it should match up with the process inetinfo.exe. If you're
using 3rd party, it should match up with their executable. In the case of
hmail, it should be hmailserver.exe.

2b) If you're using gmail's, from the same system that your PHP code
resides on, are you able able to connect to the gmail's SMTP using Outlook
Express to check the validity of the account and no misconfigured
firewalls/routers (both hardware and software)?

3) Run phpinfo(); and check "Loaded Configuration File" to ensure that
it's loading the right php.ini file. Sometimes you think it loads the right
one but it doesn't. Don't assume. Verify. Then either scroll down or
CTRL+F and look for 'SMTP'. It should be as you configured it, that is if
it loads the php.ini file from the correct location.

FYI, I suggest you stay away from non official packaged distributions as
those tend to put things in places you'll least expect. Getting the
official distribution is strongly advised. It may take you longer to
understand and get things going. But in the long run, that knowledge can
further aid you as you can fine tune the configurations to your specific
needs and also helps with the troubleshooting of various errors like the one
you're having now. Furthermore, should the need arise when you have to
upgrade for any reason, you don't have to rely on non official distribution
as sometimes those won't be updated quickly enough, especially when there's
a security bug fix release.

Regards,
Tommy

I checked "phpinfo()" also. Its using the correct "php.ini" config file.

I checked this "etstat -ano | moren" command also. Its working fine. So it
shows that my server is working fine. Now i dont know what will be the
error. Anyway i will post the modified new php.ini mail function part.

*[mail function]*
