e107 email sendmail/smtp windows issue

[Dezine]

I searched the forums for an answer but couldn't, so just in case this gets solved I named the topic in a helpful manner.

I run e107 on my windows computer. I can't seem to email my users, the settings allowed me to use either php, smtp or sendmail. I can't get any of this to work. How can I use sendmail or php to work when sending emails from e107 or other software? I have PHP 5 and even changed the smtp setting,

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = *****@gmail.com


I don't think this is the correct way to do it.. I enabled smtp for my internet connection what would the setting be to use it to send mail?

thanks for the help

here's the error I get

I beleive gmail needs authentication which isnt supported in the php.ini. You might be able to set it in the e107 settings however which will most likely support smtp auth.
