Mail Function behaves differently !!!

[d.shankar]

My php code contains a mail function which sends mail with predefined hard coded values.

 

The problem is it works in my organization and when i run it in home is get this error

 

Failed to connect to mailserver at "mail.hackerresist.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

 

Please note that the code works in my organization but not in my home !!!

 

[otuatail]

ini_set("sendmail_from", "root@mycompany.co.uk");

$success = mail($to,$subject, $message, $headers); // $success dosn't matter

 

Try this format

$headers ?

 

I dont make use of headers desmond.

Shall i ignore it ?

[otuatail]

No The header is is the last part of the emial, you just did it diffrent.

In my example above $headers is the from part as in ...

 

$headers = "Billy <gates@microsoft.com>\r\n"

Ddnt work out dude !

 

My organization is behind proxy , but my home system is not behind any proxies.

 

Any idea >>

[otuatail]

Sorry. That could be a killer. You could talk to other groups about this issue, but if you have tried the

ini_set("sendmail_from", "root@mycompany.co.uk");

and have added the \r\n then these are the only known issues.

Is it possible to set like this ?

 

ini_set("sendmail_from", "The Advertising Council <advsupport@advertising.com>");

[otuatail]

I don't know about that. I was handed ini_set by my web host. You need to get the format for the function.
