Well I have Windows XP running as my web server with Apache 2.2.8 and PHP. This is an internal SMF forum for my company. Now I need to be able to have the forum send out mails as required. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start with this. The forum has the ability to use PHP mail or SMTP mail.
I desperately need help with this please If this is in the incorrect area my apologies in advance
When you said internal does it mean you can only access the forum through a LAN and not WAN? Without knowing much about mail server or how they work all I can say is you have to have your server set up so it can send emails to outside client machines (PCs). So, I presume the first task would be make your mail server connected to the Internet.
Yes it is behind the firewall so you can only get to it via the LAN. Not all users have assess to the internet via the network. So I need it to send mail to the members that are using Outlook MAPI mail format.
I was jumping my mail off a SMTP domain as a gateway within the company but this has now been cut off. I did this by using my network login user name and password and using the SMTP Server option in my server setup from SMF "mail.co.uk" This was a bit of a mission as each month I would have to change the details in SMF to match my new password.
