I’m not sure if there has been a resolution to this issue, but I cannot use smtp to send emails from my store. Something needs to be configured in the PHP.ini file which I have no access to. I opened a ticket that has gone, for most part, unanswered. If there is no fix to this, is there a good workaround that anyone can suggest? Moving to a linux platform is not an option for me.
Thanks
use a custom php.ini in windows, I have mentioned this as the best way numerous times here, and in many tickets recently.
Just go to php.net, download 4.3.11 in zip form, extract the php.ini example, and you can set the mail server in that. Place the php.ini in the domain root.
If you can also use the ini_set function and set the mail server in the page itself.
Thanks! That did the trick. For some reason I missed the post for this fix.
