Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello forum!

I am running xampp on w2k server in a local net. Let's say, the IP address is 10.0.0.90. There is no smtp server running on this machine. A second w2k server is running in the same subnet as active directory controller. This server is also the home of my mail server (w/ smtp).

Now my question: Is this a valid entry in php.ini:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.10.0.0.100 <-- This is the entry with the mail servers IP
smtp_port = 25

Thank you for every input and regards to all!

SMTP = smtp.10.0.0.100 <-- This is the entry with the mail servers IP

That's not an IP. You mean "10.0.0.100"?

Yes, the IP address is 10.0.0.100 and it should work this way.

But it didn't.

I couldn't locate any error msg on the server with the xampp hosted. In the phpinfo() report the values for sendmail_from and sendmail_path where set to 'no value'. (Wasn't there two php.ini versions, one for each php4 and php5?)

Anyway, to finish this issue fast I am thinking about to use a local smtp server like freesmtp or so just to get this local server running.

I have nbo idea

and it should work this way.

Just to clearify. With "this way" you mean:
SMTP = 10.0.0.100

I couldn't locate any error msg on the server with the xampp hosted.

- Your testscript is?
- And more important: What can youread in the logs from your SMTP server?

!!! My goodess !!!

First: You're right. Of course it should be: SMTP = 10.0.0.100

Second: It work. But..

I did try this before in all variations - but w/o success! The problem was, I tried this in ..\xampp\php\php.ini

But the trick is, I need set this param in ..\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini

Tanks & good luck to all!
