Re: Setting up mail() for WinXX

Why you are using IP address? (No DNS MX record for the host??) Anyway, SMTP server can work w/ IP address, but many programs tries to look up DNS MX records for SMTP server. I guess PHP trying to get MX records for the IP. I didn't look into code, I can easily be wrong. (SMTP server should have MX record(s), if it is configured properly.) Try to use name (i.e. mail.example.com) instead.
