hst9 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 :oops: Hello, I am having problems sending mail from on OSC site. I have searched previous threads and tried to adopt what has been mentioned but I still get errors. I am running OSC from a localhost using windowsXP, IIS, PHP and MYSQL. My settings in ADMIN email options are: SMTP, CRLF, false, false, true. In regards to php.ini it is set the following way: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = my.static.ip.com ; for Win32 only ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = digispan.net ; for Win32 only seeing I run from my own server and I have a static ip what do I put in SMTP? I use a dynamic ip service, but when I entered this in the SMTP = I got an error saying no smtp server. and what does sendmail_from refer to? my SMTP virtual server domain? you can test the site at : http://digispan.ath.cx Site has not been edited at all, just testing atm. Any help in getting mail to work would be appreciated. thanks in advance. This is my current error messge: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for test@test.com in c:inetpubwwwrootcatalogincludesclassesemail.php on line 500 Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for digispan@australia.edu in c:inetpubwwwrootcatalogincludesclassesemail.php on line 500 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:inetpubwwwrootcatalogincludesclassesemail.php:500) in c:inetpubwwwrootcatalogincludesfunctionsgeneral.php on line 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan0815 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 [mail function]; For Win32 only. SMTP = my.static.ip.com ; for Win32 only Try localhost instead. Or 127.0.0.1 ; For Win32 only.sendmail_from = digispan.net ; for Win32 only Use a complete (and valid) mail address here. The receiving SMTP server will do a reverse DNS lookup on your domain name, so you must use a domian name with a valid MX-entry here. Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for test@test.com in c:inetpubwwwrootcatalogincludesclassesemail.php on line 500 Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for digispan@australia.edu in c:inetpubwwwrootcatalogincludesclassesemail.php on line 500 This means that your XP-SMTP mailstub cannot reverse lookup test.com (obvious). Adn it also means that it is not configured to relay for the australia.edu domain, which I guess is your local network name that is not a valid domain for the outside world. The solution is hidden deep in your XP-config and is called "masquerading domain". Set this to a valid (reverse lookup works) domain name and all of a sudden things will work ;-) HTH You can't have everything.
