Sending emails with WAMP

Question

I use the latest WAMP and I get this when I try to send emails:

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


        

Answer 1

I think your mail server (SMTP) outgoing mail server is not configured in your php.ini file.

Have a look at this:

Also hotmail doesn't allow you to use their mailservers. You should use yahoo or gmail.
