Sending mails using IIS 4.0 or Apache/ PHP 3.0 or 4.0/ MySQL set up on Windows NT 4.0: 1. Install Microsoft Exchange Server on your server. Create an Internet Connection in the Exchange server giving the name or IP address, on which your ISP is running an SMTP server. Say we give a name to the exchange server MYEXCH. You can contact your ISP and ask him to give you the gateway or the IP address on which your ISP is running the SMTP server. 2. Modify your php.ini file section of the [mail] to include SMTP = MYEXCH. Put a valid e-mail id. Then the mail() function should be able to send mails to the internet. This works pretty well on my server. If you don’t have Exchange Server software you can use Smart Server and Internet Anywhere Mail Server to connect to the gateway of your ISP’s SMTP server to send mails.
