Re: [PHP-WIN] Re: Sending Mail with PHP. From: Roderick Martin (rmartin <email protected>)
Date: 11/25/03

Can anyone tell me how to configure the SMTP server in the .ini file?
For instance, does it take an IP address, or what? We are running
WindowsNT 4 and our SMTP line is set to 'localhost' which I am almost
sure is incorrect.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!
