Hello

I am using Apache 2 on a Windows XP machine
and I am running php5 on top of it
I am struggling in my attempt to get sendmail to work

Can anyone redirect me to instructions on how to setup the SMTP
server for Windows and to get it to work with Apache?

regards

Sendmail for Windows? Never knew it existed... it's usually a *nix command /sbin/sendmail

If you're looking how to set up your php.ini to send emails then you simply need to put your ISPs SMTP server in the "SMTP" directive of the ini file. Nothing more (unless your ISP runs the server on a non-standard port).

Are you trying to physically install an SMTP server on windows? That would be a different matter :)

there is a sendmail version for windows, but it's not bundled with apache and for commercial use, it's not free.

try googling 'sendmail for windows'.
