WampServer

I am using wamp server on Windows 7 Home Premium.

I am writing a script to send mail from within script. Can I use SMTP on Windows 7 Home Premium ?

I found following statement on [geekswithblogs.net]

"SMTP Setup for Windows 7

SMTP isn't included in Windows 7 by default. But you can install Remote Server Administration Tools that includes SMTP Server Tools for Windows 7. It enables IT administrators to manage roles and features that are installed on remote computers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 but it can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the Enterprise, Professional, or Ultimate editions of Windows 7"

If SMTP can not be used with Windows 7 Home Premium, then how to send mail from script. OR I can not use mail functionality on Windows 7 Home Premium at all ?

I have windows server 2003 on VMWARE. I am providing SMTP = sym.smp.ca (which is provided by ISP) in php.ini. Will this be enough or do I have to use sendmail functionality also ? If I have to use sendmail functionality, then why is it not included in wamp server by default ?

Thanks

Take a look at phpMailer.

OR try installing a mail server like hMailer
