windows mail problem

[Andy Tawse <andy.t@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I've been having difficulty sending emails from Windows machines. I've 
seen this problem in a few places before but I can't seem to fix it on 
my machine. When I try to use mail() I get :

mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing

The code I'm using is :

	$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
	$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
	$headers .= "Reply-To: $email\r\n";
	$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
	$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
	$headers .= "X-Mailer: My Application";

	$ok = @mail($friendMail, $CHALLENGE_MAIL_SUBJECT, $mailText, $headers);

This has worked on my linux server before. It is saying I haven't set a 
From header but as you can see I have and my php.ini looks like this :

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
sendmail_from = my@xxxxxxxxx

The mail server is running and should be accepting connections. I've 
tried the IIS SMTP server and also Argosoft, set both of them to accept 
connections but it doesn't seem to get as far as the SMTP server.

I've tried it on my local machine (XP Pro, IIS 5, PHP 4.3.6) and on the 
production server (Win 2003, IIS 6, PHP 4.3.6). I've restarted and done 
all the things I've found suggested for this problem but no joy.

Can anyone help?

Thanks for your time,

Andy Tawse.
