Hi,
I wanted to create a mailing system in my project. In which one user can send email to other users whose format will be predefined. But the email addresses in the database are fake. So how can i know that the email has been sent and recieved. I have heard of using apache james or some smtp mail server but dont know how to exactly use it. How should it be set up. Plz let me know the solution for it.

Hi agarwalsrushti

Take a look at this article. I think this is what you are after. All it took was a quick Google

If this is an internal private messaging system then don't bother with email addresses at all- just give each user an ID and handle it within the database. If I've misunderstood your question or goal, please elaborate.

The link u gave was useful but for that i first to need to host my website on net. So it will check the email addresses validity. I have gone through a tutorial in which the email addresses do not exist in real world but are created using a smtp server in which we can check them.
As the previous post said about private messaging system im planning to construct something similar in this forum. Like we can send privete messages to the users. I ve already given each user a username, passord, id. How can a module of this type be constructed. Can you give me a guideline for this.
Plz help me.

lol. As funny as that is, it's a good suggestion for most questions. If people typed in their questions on google like 'php pagination tutorial', they pretty much always come up

Thanks a lot.
The private messaging tutorial helped me a lot.
Im having now problem setting the phpmailer.
I tried a sample testing code for email but it gave me the following warning.

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to :25 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\class.smtp.php on line 122

class.smtp.php is the file downloaded from phpmailer.
Can you plz help me out with this.
