mail: php.ini setup

I keep getting the "failure to connect" error message when trying to
send an email.

My system (engr01, winxp) is running a webserver and php, the mail
server is on a different system (ser01, win2000) on the intranet.

I have tried many combinations of

smtp=\\ser01; and none seem to work.

any ideas?

thanks

I'm assuming you would need to provide the full address of your stmp
server. Something along the lines of stmp.example.com
That is if the server is visible on the intranet, your best bet is to
check your Outlook/Thunderbird Account settings, and include the address
of that SMTP in php.ini

Also you would have to make sure that the stmp host is accepting
connections from the machine where PHP is installed, in this case I
belive thats your PC.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,

D

SMTP protocol has nothing to do with Microsoft Windows shares. You must
provide the domain name or IP address of the machine, something like:

smtp=ser01
smtp=ser01.full.domain.name
smpt=192.168.0.200

(it depends on your LAN settings)

I opened a dos window and pinged the mail server, the reponse was from
10.4.0.2
I entered that smtp=10.4.0.2; in the php.ini and I get

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "10.4.0.2" port 25,
verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()
in C:\xitami\xitami-24\app\webpages\alert_equipment_calibration.php on
line 18

Additional info: the path to the mailserver is \\serv01\wgpo0000

(What I am trying to do is once a day email to those who care a file
listing all the equipment that needs to be collected from the
production floor for calibration.)

thanks

Then, rather than pinging do a telnet connection to port 25.

That's impossible: \\serv01\wgpo0000 is a Windows share (i.e., a folder or
printer). You can't have a mail server in a folder, mail servers are
programs that listen on TCP ports (more specifically, port 25).

A previous poster had suggested I lookup the setup in the OUTLOOK
account. That is what it said.

I'll try telneting.

thanks
