WampServer

Hello, I am a recent convert from Apache2Triad and have been happily using SMTP pointing to my ISP service for years using php4 mail() function. After I installed the latest WAMP I was no longer about to use the php mail function without a series of errors, the most common being:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 551 User not local; please try <forward-path> in C:\wamp\htdocs\testmail.php on line 8

Here is the test script:

<?php

$to = "webmaster@qualityadvantages.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "admin@qualityadvantages.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

?>

it happily works on my ISP linux server by not on my XP box.

The php.ini block is the same one I have been using sucessfully for years:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = MyISPIPaddress
smtp_port = 25


; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = webmaster@qualityadvantages.com


Any clues to solving this problem would certainly be appreciated,

TIA, mikesz

Seems like the support ought to be a bit better than no response or acknowledgment for three days...

wamp is for local testing and development, not to be a production server. it does not come with an smtp server to so you cannot send emails with it.
