Answer 1

This question has many duplicates, so here's a canned answer:

1. Base your code on the gmail example provided with PHPMailer
2. Check out the troubleshooting docs
3. Be aware of this issue, related to what Larry K said.

Answer 2

Download sendmail for Windows from http://www.glob.com.au/sendmail/sendmail.zip Copy sendmail.exe and sendmail.ini into C:/usr/lib/

Edit sendmail.ini and enter your mail account credentials.

You might want to configure these 2 fields as well (or sending may not work) force_sender=you-sender@yourdomain.com force_recipient=you@yourdomain.com By the way I uncommented debug_logfile so I can see what data is being sent to my SMTP server.

edit c:\php\php.ini

sendmail_from = you@yourdomain.com

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

Restart apache Start sendmail.exe either from [Start] > Run > C:/usr/lib/sendmail.exe or Go to C:/usr/lib in Windows Explorer and then DoubleClick on the exe file.

And this solution appears in Sendmail Wamp Php

I tried it on Windows 10 now and it runs with gmail account

Added:

Open CMD and make a sendmail as daemon/service using

sc create SendMail binpath= "C:\usr\lib\sendmail.exe"

Now, be sure you have OpenSSL installed on your system, you can download it from here: https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

Installs the version what do you need and dont remember to install "files to windows folder". Do a restart and try again, you will have it solved.
