PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 You need a public mail server to send an email to anyone other than yourself. A public mail server is a valid mail server that has a domain name associated with it and has all the necessary DNS records setup so that a receiving mail server can check and will accept emails from the sending mail server. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/216874-send-email-with-localhost/#findComment-1126624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwwd Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm guessing that your wanting to test a mail script, if you have error_reporting() on, you should get a warning when you try to use the mail function with no smtp settings set up - this serves as a way of checking that the mail function, functions!
