eddy556 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to use the PHP mail() function and using this returns TRUE (stating a success) however the e-mail is never received, leaving me to understand there is something wrong with the SMTP server installed on the machine. I have read around many tutorials etc but cannot find out how to fix the server. Please can someone give me a step-by-step configuration? For example I don't have a domain name (that I've purchased) so how can I send an e-mail from [email protected]? I don't understand how this works. Many thanks for your help!

You can't, you need a domain before you can send emails from it. You can however configure php to use a remote smtp server (such as the one usually provided by your isp), all you need do is fill in the details in the php.ini file.
