Both email (smpt / sendmail) not work

[michaelleung]

I am a new user to OsCommerce and running a testing. So far, everything go fine, but not email/newsletter. I nearly read through all messaeg here, but still can't help my case. My ISP don't need to authenticate(no need to provide accoutn or password) for sending out email thru their SMTP server.

 

Whenever I try to send out newletter to my client(it is me) from OsCommerce. Browser prompts:-

 

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in c:\appserv\www\catalog\admin\includes\classes\email.php on line 500

 

My system:

Windows 2000

AppServ 2.2.0

Apache 1.3.28

MySQL verion 3.23.57-nt

PHP 4.3.3

Sendmail for Windows V2.01

 

My PHP.ini configuration[mail function]

; For Win32 only.

SMTP = localhost

 

; For Win32 only.

sendmail_from = [email protected]

sendmail_path = c:\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t

E-Mail Options

E-Mail Transport Method: smtp

E-Mail Linefeeds: CRLF

Try changing your email transport method to "sendmail", since that is app that is configured on your server.

Great,

 

After changing to use 'sendmail' and reboot my server, it work now.

 

Then I can proceed to test the payment gateway now.

 

Many thanks,
