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 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/87531-smtp-mail-server-php-locally/ 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?

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/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/87531-smtp-mail-server-php-locally/#findComment-448013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
