note 77499 added to ref.mail

As mentioned earlier, for Windows users there is a fake
sendmail option. A bit more detailed description how to do
this is:

If you have a test server in use running Windows and some
kind of WAMP combo (XXAMP, WAMP Server, etc) then you'll
notice that the PHP sendmail command (mail()) does not work.
Windows simply does not provide the sendmail statement ...

There is a simple trick to get this to work though;

1) Download (or use the attached file) sendmail.zip from http://glob.com.au/sendm
ail/

2) Unzip this in a folder on your c: drive (preferably use a
simple path, for example c:wampsendmail -- long filenames
could cause problems)

3) Edit your PHP.INI file (note: WAMP users should access
their php.ini file from the WAMP menu). Go to the [mail
function] section and modify it as such:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP =

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from =

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default:
"sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = "C:wampsendmailsendmail.exe
-t"

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be
passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always
replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_paramaters =

.. and save the changes.

4) Open the sendmail.ini and modify the settings to:

[sendmail]

; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
; or to IIS's "pickup" directory.  (generally
C:InetpubmailrootPickup)
; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail
to
; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the
calling
; application.

smtp_server=mail.yourdomain.com

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=25

; the default domain for this server will be read from the
registry
; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't
provided
; if you want to override the value in the registry,
uncomment and modify

default_domain=yourdomain.com

; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory
as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable logging
; error_logfile=sendmail_error.log

; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory
as sendmail.exe)
; uncomment to enable debugging
; debug_logfile=sendmail_debug.log

; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the
following two lines

;auth_username=
;auth_password=

; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication,
modify the
; following three lines

pop3_server=mail.yourdomain.com
pop3_username=youyourdomain.com
pop3_password=mysecretpassword

; to force the sender to always be the following email
address, uncomment and
; populate with a valid email address.  this will only
affect the "MAIL FROM"
; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of
the message content

force_sender=youyourdomain.com

; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in
the ehlo/helo
; smtp greeting.  you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if
required

hostname=

The optional error and debug logging is recommended when
trying this the first time, so you have a clue what goes
wrong in case it doesn't work.
Force_sender is also optional, but recommended to avoid
confusion on the server end.
Obviously mail.yourdomain.com, youyourdomain.com, and
mysecretpassword should be the relevant info for your SMTP
server.
Now restart the WAMP services (mainly Apache so PHP re-reads
it's config).

Now you're good to go and use the PHP mail() statement as if
you're a Unix user ...
