Sending email

[jpgalea]

hi i am using a newsletter system on my uniserver and it is trying to send emails but it is reporting an error that it cannot send any emails. Do i have to configure somethign on the server to enable sending of emails? thanks

Search the forum. We've covered this before, but basically you need a SMTP server like hMailServer.

OR:

You can use your ISP smtp server if they allow it.

 

Open: udrive/usr/local/php/php.ini

 

Find: "smtp" <without quotes

 

You will find this

 

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

 

Change it to

 

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.ISP.com
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@localhost.com

 

SMTP & sendmail_from needs to be changed. Good luck.
