sending email from apache

[josiah007ng]

hello guys,

i need some help.

i have installed and have been using php and apache on my system for a while now. i am running apache from my system so that others on the internet can view the site i am hosting on my system with apache when they type my ip address in their browser address bar.

everything is working out fine, but the problem is that the mail function on the site i am hosting on my system is not working at all.the php script executes quite alright but no mail is sent. is there any configuration i have not done yet. pls let me know what i am to do next.

i am running windows 2000.

thank you,
joe...

in php.ini check
SMTP = localhost

and you need to start the IIS's SMTP and you need to check relay from 127.0.0.1 to send the mails..

or please check with webmaster of the site .

thank you ruturajv, i did all you told me but i do not understand what you meant by checking relay from 127.0.0.1 to send mails. Please explain to me on how i can do this. I await your response.

in your iis services manager...
there is tree for the smtp server for domains...
for that for the local domain's properties, there you find a tab (I don't excatly remember) that the localhost can relay the messages, there you need to add 127.0.0.1 IP, only then you can send the messages

in the properties.. there are two ip address need to be filled in or just one? one is for the default smtp Virtual Server which its IP Address is ' Unassigned Status'.. n one more is in Access- Relay - and there, what i need to add in Access and IP column?...

i had set those Ip Adress.. n the relay things seem vanish.. but, all the sent email now has problem which, the emails now are all stored in my inetpub/mailroot/queue directory.. seems they are stop there n nothing is sent? how to settle this problem?
