sendmail PHP5 IIS6 problem

[jamesmcd87]

I am attempting to configure IIS6 and PHP5 to enable the sending of email on my local machine for testing purposes.

 

I have followed several tutes to configure the Default virtual Mail Server for IIS6, setting relay and connection details for 127.0.0.1 and localhost, and the php.ini sendmail settings and attempted to execute the following simple test script...

 

<?php
if(mail('me@somewhere.com','test subject','test message'))
{
echo "ok";
}
else
{
echo "not ok";
}
?>

 

Obviously I would have my actual gmail email address in place of the me@somewhere.

 

Php.ini settings are...

 

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

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = root@localhost

 

My problem is that the script returns 'OK', but I am not receiving any emails.

 

Does any one have any suggestions as to things I could look into?

 

 

 

Cheers

This is an smtp server issue, not php. The mail function is working.
