Hi, I just grab the following code online, everything has been set correctly, i reckon. The page return with "Success", but i haven't received any mail in my inbox. Was that Normal, or i should replace "localhost" by the my local smtp server's address, how do i know my smtp server address?
Thanks

<?php

ini_set("SMTP","localhost");
ini_set("sendmail_from","martin_ua@yahoo.com");

if (mail("martin_ua@yahoo.com","This is a test","This is the body","From: martin_ua@yahoo.com\r\nContent-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"))
{
print "Success";
}
else
{
print "Failed";
}

?>

Remove those two lines:

ini_set("SMTP","localhost");
ini_set("sendmail_from","martin_ua@yahoo.com");

And try it. If your server is set up correctly, php will interact with the sendmail and send the mail using default settings. You can also set the From address in the additional headers in the mail() function.

More info at the php.net site -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php (There's LOTS of samples of code)

Just a side note, not all servers come with a smtp server. IIS does not have a default one. At least, not to my knowledge. And, not all hosts allow it. You'll have to provide more info on your setup for a better answer. What OS is your server? Are you using IIS or Apache?
