Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in D:\hshome\nextrex\grafxdesigns.net\p_sendmail.php on line 49

I have the similar problem in my site.

I have error message when i trying to call mail(…) function in my php script. The error look like this:

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at “localhost” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in D:\hshome.…\index.php on line 303

What’s wrong?

Please specify your mail server instead of “localhost”
Your mail server would be - mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain)

I get this message when I try to submit a form using php - I’ve got easy php installed (with apache and mysql) and the SMTP and smtp_port settings are correct. I don’t have a mail server on my machine. Where am I going wrong? Thanks for any help!

Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at “mail.btinternet.com” port 25, verify your “SMTP” and “smtp_port” setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in c:\easyphp1-7\www\feedback1.php on line 12

12
<?php ini_set("SMTP","mail.domain.com"); ini_set("sendmail_from","[email protected]"); if (mail("[email protected]","This is a test","This is the body","From: [email][email protected][/email]\r\nContent-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n")) { print "Success"; } else { print "Failed"; } ?>

They require you to specify the SMTP server AND a valid From address for the domain, and the ‘From:’ setting in the header isn’t good enough. You have to use ini_set() for both.

13

Yes, that is correct, it needs both.

14

$message = “$realname, $email\n\n$feedback”;

this variable is not working in my mail funciton

mail(“[email protected]”,$subject,$message,“From: $email”);

i want body to displey in a new row, but mail function does not accept “\n”! What am i doing wrong?

15

What error do you get?

Replace your \n’s with \r\n’s in your message string.

Strictly speaking, you’re supposed to separate lines with carriage return+line feed.

Thank you rabbit.

I just started learning PHP, and this is my first programing language. It’s more like playing with examples than actual learning.

It works fine now. Thanks once again…

19

Hmm… yesterday it worked just fine, but thismorning I get this:

Warning: mail(): SMTP server response: 552 sorry, your envelope sender domain must exist (#5.7.1) in…

I tried to search the web but ended up in dead corners every time…

is the sendmail from a valid address on the mailserver?
