Daniel0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 You need to either a) Install a mail server on your computer. Search for one. There are plenty of free ones available. b) If you have access to an SMTP server you can modify the SMTP settings in php.ini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLikeIcarus Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 xampp http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html (which i prefer over wamp) comes with mercury mail server. I've used it to send emails from a dev environment with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLikeIcarus Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Check your spam folder. If the domain in the emails from doesnt match the domain in the header it will flag it as spam. Usually all my test emails from my dev go to my gmails spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaT3oYCG Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 You need the authentication dll's that are on the sendmail page you were linked to, I know this as I had the same problem the other day just plonk them in the same folder as the sendmail.exe file and it should work flawlwssley, im on WAMP with the same application. Make sure that the prot number is 465 aswell and either use ssl or auto setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
