anybody know of a good form mail script or program

[travisjforeman]

I don't like paying monthly service fees.

I found a few online, but all seemed built for unix systems.

thank you.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. What about this?: http://swiftmailer.org/

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

[travisjforeman]

you showed my the cadillac. at my pay grade, i'll settle for a yugo.

Hello travisjforeman

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

[travisjforeman]

i'll be trying it today.

i do have php installed and that is working so i will test out the form mail program.

thanks, you've been a life saver.

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:
www.theforemansfamily.com/formmail/code.txt

Unfortunately on Windows, PHP needs to have a mail server (on linux it uses sendmail) and have it specified in php.ini.

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.

[travisjforeman]

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

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.

[travisjforeman]

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?

Thanks for the info

[rrinc]

You could probably have some kind of proxy (on your server) to bridge the gap between PHP and the SSL it doesn't support.
