I don't like paying monthly service fees.
I found a few online, but all seemed built for unix systems.
thank you. |

granted, i don't know much about programming, i can work around computers, it's like a second language, and i'm not altogether good at learning new languages, but i know a little and can work around things,
but this looks complicated.
i need something simple |

Hello travisjforeman
I love this formmail program. You need php installed but since changing to it I have had virtually no spam.

error in form mailer
I don't really know what this means:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\formmail\formmailer.php on line 511.
here is my form:
www.theforemansfamily.com/formmail/form.php
here is my code:

Unfortunately on Windows, PHP needs to have a mail server (on linux it uses sendmail) and have it specified in php.ini. _________________ -Blake | New Server :D

I do have a hmail server that the script points *to* (recieves the mail) but that is a different domain than the one I send "from." I think you could just use your own ISP server if your are running on an LAN, just as in php bb, right?
I don't have anything in my Aprelium pre-configured PHP ini that points to any mail server other than:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
I didn't need to do anything to php ini to get dbformmailer to work for me.
I am not sure what the problem would.

|

I just recovered from a virus or something, used system restore. I think everything is fine.
anyway, i just changed this:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
to this:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.alltel.net
smtp_port = 25
I actually have windstream. I think it's going to change to their's and not alltel's soon. I hope they don't change much.
anyway, for now, it's working.
thanks. |

|

their instructions are:
Go to the Tools menu and select Accounts.
Click on the Mail tab and click on Properties.
On the General tab, replace your Alltel e-mail address with your @windstream.net e-mail address.
Click on the Servers tab and replace the existing information with the following:
Incoming mail server: pop.windstream.net
Outgoing mail server: smtp.windstream.net
Account name: Your Windstream.net e-mail address
Place a checkmark on My server requires authentication and click OK.
I guess for my form, i wouldn't need incoming i'd just need outgoing.
but my email address and authentication. i'm not sure if i can do that |

Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 2:07 pm Post subject: Using Pear |
|
|
Here is some information i found about using Pear. (part of php).
http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/et073006.htm
But. i'm still not sure how to set pear up (or if it's even supported), in my php 5 that i downloaded.
Is there something else i need to download, and will it be supported by abyss.
I will poke around on the net some more and see if i can figure it out, but in the meantime if anybody has extra information, like where to download it or their suggestions, i will appreciate it, thanks. travis. |

Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 6:07 pm Post subject: remote smtp servers? |
|
|
I heard google can act as a smtp outgoing mail server.
I suppose the ol' boys over at google don't let you use your own email client?
I wish to use my email client, my php form mail program, and their outgoing mail server.
Is this possible? |

Yes they do but their SMTP server requires SSL and authentication. Both features are not supported by the simple SMTP implementation of PHP. _________________ Support Team

You could probably have some kind of proxy (on your server) to bridge the gap between PHP and the SSL it doesn't support. _________________ -Blake | New Server :D
