PHP Mail

[Kewley]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to configure PHP Mail. I'm using WAMP, and so have complete control over the PHP settings.

I've changed the PHP.ini file to read:

 

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.googlemail.com
smtp_port = 465

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [email protected]

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

But I get the following error (well warning):

[22-Mar-2008 14:56:41] PHP Warning:  mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "smtp.googlemail.com" port 465, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\test\mail.php on line 9

Some googling tells me that it's probably because Gmail's SMTP server requires authentication.

I though of using Hotmail, but apparently that's purely HTTP, and I can't use my ISP Email address because I don't remember the password.

Can anybody help me out, or point me int he right direction?

 

Thanks in advance.
