PHP mail() function not working

[Allowee]

the PHP mail() function is not working.

I did some debugging but it won't work.
It seems that the mail server accepts the mail, but doesn't mail it.

I don't see any errors.

if you are using phpBB2 you can turn the smtp function on. it does work then.
I guess this is something for psoft to solve...

I tried to fix the mail function. I edited the php.ini file. Do you know the proper configuration changes I need to make?

I fixed mail sending with IMP. Is the forum sending the welcome email correctly?

[Allowee]

this is what I got in my windows php.ini

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 192.168.1.2

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = mail@allowee.no-ip.com

; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

I've also tried using the 'From: ' header but it didn't work.....

I got the welcome message correctly
I also got mails about your replies......

Maybe this can help you...
did you set phpBB to use the smtp function?
I don't think that that the mail server will only allow mails from simgames.net

[KStange]

Yes, I had to set it to use the SMTP function because there's no sendmail on the web server. I should probably set up a local sendmail of some kind to fix this problem.

can't you ask psoft what todo?

I'll post on there forums....
I'm just a bit bored....

Yeah I had this problem. I could receive email but when I sent email no one would receive it :shock:

Kevin has fixed it for me now though. Don't know how :)

That was with the IMP mail system which I simply configured to use the mail server, as it was supposed to. The PHP mail() function is another matter entirely.

I promise after I get done with my finals, I'll fix the email. :-)

This should be fixed. Let me know if it's not.
