Hello, I am trying to send email from a php script on my local pc, i am still developing the site on my local computer, and not still testing online The php.ini has the followinf settings: -------------------------- [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = localhost ----------------------- I also have added this line in my php script: ini_set ("sendmail_from",localhost); While trying to send a mail I get the following error: Warning: mail() [function.mail <http://localhost/charbel/function.mail> ]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() Any Help appreciated Regards Many Thanks [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
