Background:
Server-Apache 1.3.31
OS-Windows XP
PHP-5
Problem-I'm trying to run eFiction, a story/fanfiction archive script. On
this, people self register, and they are supposed to get an e-mail with their
password. However, I and one other attempted signing up, and neither of us got
our password-email. After doing research, I heard I needed to make sure that my
sendmail function was activated.
How do I make sure that my sendmail function is on and running? I read the
documentation and checked my php.ini, but I have some doubts.
1. My php.ini doesn't seem to include everything that should be either. In
the documentation, it shows your mail section having four parts: SMTP, SMTP
Port, sendmail_from, sendmail_path. However, php.ini looks like this (windows
section):
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There is a sendmail_path down below, but it is under the For Linux Only
section. What's with that?
Also, I have a router. Do I need to port-forward port 25 to get sendmail
to work?
Thanks in advance.
