I am a newbie in php. I run Apache 2.0.59 and php 5 on WindowsXP.
Server works OK. But I cannot receive the email with the results of the
form.
I made changes in php.ini file, changing [mail function]

SMTP = outgoing.verizon.net
sendmail_from= myE-mailAddress@verizonnet

where outgoing.verizon.net is the actual ISP server name (I found it in
outlook express accounts)

The form has been processed without errors, but I didn't receive any
email. Could you please help me with this problem?

Your mail server probably needs some kind of authentication (i.e.
userid/password) before sending the mail. Do you have that in your email
program (i.e. Thunderbird, Outlook Express, etc.)?

Try sending a e-mail to yourself via Outlook Express and see if it gets
through. Spam filters have a way of zapping mails where the recipient
and the sender are the same.
