sendmail issue - simply help plz
Posted: 23. October 2011 05:02
Hello guys
i have really simple question guys
i have searched a lot, here and other places but i need exact answer for this, because seems i am in the wrong direction and your help will make be on the right direction to bring further...
using xampp 1.7.7 and windows server 2008 R2 - all going well overall
when tried to use the sendmail function it didn't send anything.... even i did uncomment the sndmail path in php.ini
all my impression is that sendmail php function does NOT require any smtp server to be installed on the server, i am not sure of this, as @linux server on the web it is not obviously using smtp server (mail server)
so my question does this require smtp server to be installed on the windows server? do i have use mercury or not... becasue it will be used for couple of notifications and i don't want to go through mail server installation if this function doesn't require smtp server to installed....... just please let me know:
- if this doesn't require mail server in general: then i have to go deeper in sendmail issue and see what it doesn't work
- if this is required by as mandatory... then to know that i am in wrong direction and start focusing on a version of hMail install of this crap mercury...
I'm yet reading since 3 days but this question is not clear 4me, everybody speaks about sndmail issues and smtp but nobody mentioned if this does require smtp server to be installed or no need? .... in the fake sndmail.ini there is smtp settings, so i think it require this in windows for sure huh? hmmmm? mybe in linux also but it takes it automatically to smtp server???
i will be waiting your information...
