WampServer

I can't send emails with mail().

In php.ini I set these emails parameters:

SMTP = mail.bbsyd.dk
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from = joern@kalendersystem.dk

My Outlook works with these parameters.

I tried this simple code:

mail("joernjohansen@gmail.com","test subject","test body";

but nothing happens.

When I tried a code with the class PhpMailers, and I set the these parameters in my php-code:

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'mail.bbsyd.dk';

it works.

Some solutions?

Thank's.

Then use phpMailer.

I would imagin that mail.bbsyd.dk requires authentication and that is not possible using mail() and the parameters that are available in the php.ini file.


Like I say, either install a mail server or use phpMailer.

Thank's for your answer.

"mail.bbsyd.dk" doesn't require authentication because my internetconnection is with "bbsyd.dk" as provider.

It worked with an earlier Wamp-version.

Oh, well in that case I would check that nothing has changed at "mail.bbsyd.dk". Possibly check the port number is correct.

What was the actual error you were getting?

Remember you can set this parameter in php.ini which may help with identifying the error

; The path to a log file that will log all mail() calls. Log entries include
; the full path of the script, line number, To address and headers.
mail.log = "c:/wamp/logs/mail.log"

Thanks for your suggestions.

I can read this from the log-file:

[31-Jul-2014 13:28:48 Europe/Paris] mail() on [D:\wamp\www\jomsborg\mailtest.php:3]: To: joernjohansen@gmail.com -- Headers:


In Outlook I don't use authentication with outgoing post - only incomming post. The outgoing Port-no is 25.
I have just tried sending emails from Outlook, and it works.

Well that does not seem very helpful other than to say as far as php is concerned the mail was sent, of course that does not mean the receiving server did not reject it or ignore it because it does not like something about the connection


You could try changing mail.add_x_header = On to Off

But after that I have no idea what the problem might be.

Thanks for your advice. I just use PhpMailer.
