Re: Bug #14329: Mail() does not work

Hi, First point: I couldn't figure out how to use your bug-system. Call me stupid, but I just dont get how it works (i.e. I don't have a CVS account and I thought that wouldn't be necessary for only this. Yes, I'm tired :)). Here my answer: This error is raised when PHP fails to connect to the SMTP server. Please check your php.ini for following directive: [mail function] SMTP = smtp.blabla.com ;for win32 only check manually whether this server works. Have you installed a firewall which prevents connecting to this server? Or is this directive just missing/invalid? For additional debbuging help please check out http://www.ethereal.com/ It will provide you with more in-depth information of the connection process. remember to restart apache after having changed php.ini. This is NOT a bug in PHP.
