PHP and mail() configuration?

[random1]

While trying:

 

mail('[email protected]', 'hi!', 'message');

 

I'm getting the error:

 

Warning: mail() [function.mail0]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in .... etc

 

In my php.ini I have:

 

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = localhost
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/sendmail-from
;sendmail_from = [email protected]

 

I'm using SmarterMail.

 

Any ideas?

Try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Or change your port to 2525
