WampServer

Hi:

Which SMTP server do I need to install to WAMP, so that it can send email to other people.
And how do I configure it with WAMP..... This is just for testing..... So it should be fine.

Softstack do a great free SMTP server which doesn't need configuring!

Just simply download and install, then run the program and use the mail() function as you would.

I think I need to understand something here.

* Do I need to do anything with port 25? e.g. Do I need to forward it?
* I am running WAMP in my desktop. I want to test whether the form in my site is working fine. i.e. Fill in the form then send an email to my email address. I assume I can not do it in
my desktop, since I use anonymous.org to access my website...... (It strips all sessions..)
So I need someone to outside test it for me?

I got an error:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 551 User not local. We don't relay ..
Is it because I use [123.12.3.1]... instead of a domain name......

Not just roouter but also firewalls

It should be localhost instead, I guess

Have fun,

I realize that the path "[123.12.3.1]; is only for refering some php pages. In all forms, I didn't specify the path....

As I understand, "SMTP server response: 551 User not local." means the receiver cannot receive the email. So there are some setting in the form is not correct...e.g. Need to use ini_set.....

Any hint will be helpful.
