Schlo_50 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi there, I am working on a project and would like to use php mail functions but i don't have a mail server installed on apache. I'd like to be able to install this on apache so i can test my mail forms locally. I have downloaded the files i apparently need to be able to do this but have no idea how to install them correctly. Any help/ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 All i want to do is send mail locally, how can i do this? The easiest way is to configure php to use a remote smtp server. Otherwise, you need to setup a local mail (smtp) server. What OS are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlo_50 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Windows XP. I'd like to get some help on how to setup a local smtp server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Personally for Windows I'd recommend hMaiServer. Its free/(open source?) and I've used it on XP and has a good support forum. If you want to pay there are umpteen other options. http://www.hmailserver.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
