mail server on XAMPP?

using Apache Friends XAMPP on PC – would like to test emails from the ‘users’ tab and also from zem_contact_reborn …

I had a look in the MercuryMail folder – but instructions were dense and looked like it would take too long to setup to be of value – any tips on getting something quick and dirty going?

Re: mail server on XAMPP?

Nardo,

In your c:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini file, around line 700:

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

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com

Change SMTP to your ISP’s server and sendmail_from to your email address on the mail server.

If you’re using XAMPP 1.7.1, it’s now using \xampp\php\php.ini.
