kuul13 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi I have gone through many many websites/forums/articles and followed all the steps mentioned in there to send emails to my gmail account but ALL IN VAIN Refered: http://brettshaffer.com/how-to/php-sendmail-and-xampp-on-windows/ http://www.joshstauffer.com/tech/send-test-emails-with-wampserver/ I have a webpage on my local machine, contact.html that calls php file to send emails using mail(). As a webserver, I don't have access to IIS so I installed Apache. Actually I installed WAMP SERVER 2.0 on WIN XP along with sendmail. I changed the config files php.ini and sendmail.ini for sendmail_path and smtp_server/smtp_port/auth_username/auth_password. I think the changes were so simple that I verified each change zillion time but still I don't see any email on my gmail account. The page says the email has been sent successfully but when I check the sendmail log it says "Connect timed out.". I tried using: smtp.gmail.com with 465, 110 and even 80 port numbers. Although SSL port should be 465. ;sendmail.ini file ; configuration for fake sendmail [sendmail] smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com smtp_port=465 ; SMTPS (SSL) support ; auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS ; ssl = alway use SSL ; tls = always use TLS ; none = never try to use SSL smtp_ssl=ssl ;default_domain=mydomain.com error_logfile=error.log auth_username= [email protected] auth_password= ****** [code] [code] ;php.ini file [mail function] ; For Win32 only. ;SMTP = ;smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = "c:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t" ;mail.force_extra_parameters = [code] I would really appreciate if someone can help me in resolving this issue.. It's almost two days I am banging my head into this Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169640-solved-mail-not-working-for-gmail-ac-using-wampphp-on-windows-xp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuul13 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi thanks for the response.. I was able to solve it last night. I guess the issue was with the firewall. The code is now working.
