Sending emails with WAMP

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at \"localhost\" port 25, ve         


        

Answer 1

You are not running an smtp server on your machine, but you don't have to. Just set SMTP to a open smtp server for example:

ini_set('SMTP', 'smtp.yourisp.com');

Take a look at your ISP's home page or http://www.e-eeasy.com/SMTPServerList.aspx for list of SMTP servers.

If you have a desktop mail program, you can use the same address as you use for outgoing mail.
