Trying to get PHP to send smtp through sendmail 8

Jun 15th, 2006

I don't know how to configure my sendmail8 system, is sendmail a mail server? Why don't PHP send mail() through the sendmail8 system?

Thanks:mrgreen:

You can assign the sendmail program or any other smtp program for sending email for php.

You need to change a line from the php.ini file (the path to your stmp program).

char after char, word after word... leads to a website then a network...

agree with "trafficman"

you must change a line from the php.ini file
------------------------------------------------------
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
