Hallo i have only experiance on windows so i dunno how to set up postfix to work with php so how do i do that and my smtp server needs autencation. so who can help me out here greets colddot
You dont have to configure PHP at all to send emails trough the local MTA (postfix or sendmail) on a Linux server. Please explain the problem you experience a bit more. Can you send emails with the postfix daemon on your server when you use a normal email client like outlook?
That i know but you must set in the php ini file how you send you mail now it is set on the windows localhost and smtp port 25 it works only takes to send a mail 5 min is that not to much ?
The default php.ini settings should work for sending mails without problems. Please don't change them! For me the php.ini settings are as follows: Code: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [email protected] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). ;sendmail_path =
ok thx but what is then my from e mail addres or is that the e mail what i give whit the mail funtion from php
You can set the from address in the additional headers. Have a look here: http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php If you don't set it, then it will be like this: <apache_user>@<hostname>, e.g. [email protected].
