I've seen some stuff about these variables working only on windows. Is this true. Otherwise, there is no error message or anything. Seems like the variable just does nothing. Reproduce code: --------------- </usr/local/lib/php.ini> SMTP = 64.90.xxx.xxx Expected result: ---------------- I expected to have the mail try to go out through the SMTP server specified Actual result: -------------- The mail went out from localhost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24484&edit=1
