Hi,

I am running 1.7.1 because the later versions have a version of PHP that causes problems for an app I am working with (not my app...)

Anyway, I need to get the ability to send email working on my local machine so I can test some functionality. 1.7.1 has Mercury mail but I have not been able to get it to actually send emails. I have gotten it to the point where php does not give me any errors but the email is not sent. Is there a simple how-to anywhere I can follow on this?

Thanks

You don't need Mercury to sendmail - you can use the 'fake sendmail' - which I am pretty sure was included in 1.7.1

Thanks. I will try it.
