I'm finding when a mail is sent from a script, I get:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at
"smtp.ntlworld. com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in
php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Documents and Settings\
However, when using Outlook and setting the SMTP agent in that to
smtp.ntlworld.c om, on the same PC, mail is sent fine (using Outlook)
without any problems.
Can anyone think what might be the problem here?

First - I'm currently seeing varying types of weirdness from
smtp.ntlworld.c om (which amongst other things tries to be clever about
blocking relaying (i.e. not just simply using the mechanisms built into the
MTA) and limiting virus outbreaks) so it may not be your code / config. NTL
are aware of issues and are currently advising customers to use their
webmail service (!).
Having said that, it's most likely your fault ;) !
Check your firewall - because of the architecture of the IP stack in
MSWindows, most firewall programs have visibility of the application
attempting to connect and can implement a policy accordingly.
If that's not the problem, it's worth checking that PHP is able to resolve
the name correctly. Also try connecting using fsockopen instead.

Did you change your php.ini file? Your Outlook session is perhaps
correctly configured to 'know' that the SMTP server is smtp.ntlworld.c om
however chances are, unless you've changed it, php.ini will use
localhost as its SMTP. Read: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php
Hope that helps...

I'm running Windows/Outlook XP with mail routed through POP3/SMTP university servers. Abruptly, I am no longer able to send mail, though receiving works fine.

I have an application that sends simple e-mails using SMTP, it no longer
works with a lot of e-mail servers.
Basically the problem seems to be that I am no longer sending a valid logon
sequence. The server says the user is not authorized, if I switch to
Outlook it works.
Code to send authorizion.
this.SendData("AUTH LOGIN" + CRLF);

Hi,
I am trying to write some codes to send emails through a SMTP
server. I wrote a C++ version using pure socket programming and SMTP
protocol, a VB version using CDO and a C# version using
System.Net.Mail. Now all of them works great with any email account but
hotmail. So here is the C# code:
MailAddress from = new MailAddress("ZZZ@CCC.com", "XXX");
MailAddress to = new MailAddress("SSS@hotmail.com", "YYY");

Hi.
I would like to let users send bug reports or other messages to me.
Maybe the easiest way to send e-mails from my application is just use
the default e-mail agent by executing a link
mailto://mymail@domail.com.
But this only works if the user has configured Outlook or something.
Many users use web-based mails here so if I do so, Outlook Express's a
new account wizard will pop-up. Futhure more this reveals user e-mails.
