Re: mail() doesn't work in self-compiled 4.3.4

I also cannot get mail to work. I'm tinkering with a php package post-nuke that registers users & gets submissions. It's set up on my home win2k box with apache server and as I understand php has a mail server but maybe I need to also install a mail server. I changed SMTP in my php.ini from the default localhost to my ISP's outgoing mail server and per the php help docs I added a line setting the port to 25. The port setting fixed some errors I was getting from post-nuke and seemed to work but I'm not getting the actual mail confirming registration. Sven Riedel wrote:

Can you run sendmail from the terminal? If not, maybe your firewall is restricting outgoing traffic, or maybe Sendmail simply isn't started.

Yes, sendmail works fine; I'm running a domain-wide mailserver on that box as well (I know I know, not ideal configuration). The mailserver in question is postfix, but I can use the sendmail wrapper to send mail, so that isn't the problem. Regs, Sven
