Re: configuring sever to send mail (Win2k)

thanks for the reply but i still need some help: PHP Version 4.0.6 -------------------------------- [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = me@localhost.com ------------------------------------------- I get this error when i use the mail function on my local server (IIS 5.0, windows 2000 Pro). Maybe it's an IIS configuration problem. i'm really not sure. Error Warning: Server Error in F:\Inetpub\wwwroot\stowe\scripts\mail.php on line 42 Code <?php $to = 'calistusj@hotmail.com'; $from = 'calistuj@hotmail.com'; //Check if we have something POSTed by the form. if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)){ //Start with an empty body for the mail message $body = ''; //Iterate through all the POSTed variables, and add them to the message body. while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)){ $body .= $key .
