Hi,
I installed PHP version 5.0.3 along with Apache 2.x on
windows XP Home Edition laptop. I connect to the
internet using wireless connection (AOL ADSL Router).
I am doing a personal course work. Basically a user is
required to fill in a form with their e-mail address.
The server then is supposed to send a message to the
user.
On my script I wrote:
$from = "From: gratziale@xxxxxxxxx";
$subject = "Confirmation";
if(mail($email, $subject, $message, $from)){
echo('<p class="head">
Congratulations, you have successfully created an
account on our server.
However, you will need to activate your account by
clicking on the link
that is sent to your e-mail address. Thank
you</p>');
}
else{
die('We are very sorry that your account can not
be created because: '. error_reporting());
}
on my php.ini, i wrote:
extension=php_imap.dll
...
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = gratziale@xxxxxxxxx
...
When I tried to run the script I had the error:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response:
550 Delivery is not allowed to this address.
Then I tried to install mail server (ArgoSoft Mail
Server) after I read the php tutorial since there is a
note posted to try it. I install it successfully.
Below are the steps that I took to install it
Step1:
1. Install ArGoSoft Mail Server
2. Open the ArGoSoft Mail Server and click Tools
>Options to configure.
3. Enter the DNS server name or let the ArGoSoft Mail
Server to auto-detect.
4. In the IP Homes tab, enter 127.0.0.1
5. Start (run) the ArGoSoft Mail Server and make sure
there is no error.
6. Now, the "localhost" (127.0.0.1) is your SMTP &POP3
server.
Step2:
1. Open your php.ini
2. Enter the value of SMTP like SMTP = localhost
I add the option allow relay.
I got the mesage that the mail function on the script
was successfully executed. However, the e-mail was not
delivered as intended. Moreover, on the mail server
log, I had these errors (user enter the e-mail address
ngow8@xxxxxxxxxxx, from is set to gratziale@xxxxxxxxx)

I am a bit frustrated now with the mail() function.
All I want is very simple that my Apache-PHP server
(localhost with IP 127.0.0.1) will be able to send
e-mail as intended. I believe that I will need to
install a mail server. May I get some inputs, please?
Thank you
Regards,
Wong
