Do you have a mail server running on your local machine that is
listening on port 25? If you don't this isn't going to work. You
probably want to put the address of your ISP's mail server there, not
localhost.

If you have a SMTP server installed (and correctly configured) on your
machine, you should have no problem with that php.ini.
But ...
I doubt you have a mail server installed on your machine.
You have to specify an /existing/ mail server for the SMTP entry in
php.ini.
Try putting in SMTP the same server you have for your mail client
(Outlook Express????) and in sendmail_from an address for that server,
eg:
SMTP = example.com
sendmail_from = us**@example.co m
--
Mail to my "From:" address is readable by all at http://www.dodgeit.com/
== ** ## !! ------------------------------------------------ !! ## ** ==
TEXT-ONLY mail to the whole "Reply-To:" address ("My Name" <my@address>)
may bypass my spam filter. If it does, I may reply from another address!

Are you sure that the mail function return TRUE?
If it is, I found this note on the PHP.net website that said the
following. I hope this helps:

Under win32 you must! set sendmail_from in php.ini to solve the
error: "sendmail_f rom" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header
missing. Only setting the headers correctly won't do. When set, the
"From:" header will be used :-)

In my effort to learn PHP I'm playing with some simple email scripts. They
worked a few days ago but they stopped working. The only thing I've done to
this Windows 2000 PC in this time was a Windows Update which I do regularly.
The only part of this update that might be related was an IE 6 update.
So I uninstalled and reinstaled PHP 4.3.3. The mail server setting is correct
in the php.ini file. But email is still not being sent.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
