Demonwolf Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi all I have a MS Server 2008R2 set up with IIS7 In IIS I have set up an SMTP (with the IIS6 requirements) and the standard PHP that you get with it all. The SMTP server works. Reason we have to use a local SMTP server to interface with our actual mail server is because the external server requires TLS authentication and many smaller office scanning machines don't support it. I am able to send mail through the SMTP without issue, both from an office MFP and from a mail client like Outlook 2010. The PHP works too. I have it displaying PHP webpages and even going as far as accessing ODBC data resources. However, the two of them don't work together. I create a basic webpage that is as follows: <html><body> <?php if (mail("me@example.com","Test Subject","Test body")) {echo "success";} else {echo "failed";} ?></body><html> I also have the following in the PHP.ini I found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\" [mail function]SMTP = localhostsmtp_port = 25sendmail_from = no-reply@example.com And yet, all I get is "failed" each time I have run the webpage. Anyone have any ideas on where I can get the PHP/SMTP/Other logs to give me more information? I have monitored the queue folder for the SMTP and it doesn't seem to even receive the mail from the PHP site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LH91325 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 There's only two things I can think of at the moment. 1. You might want to introduce a from header in your call to mail(), even though you have a default. Maybe it will change something.. 2. Add more error reporting: http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php (turn it on to maximum) It's too bad mail() returns only true and false. Not much information there. (Just 1 bit.) I doubt either suggestion will help but it's better than trying nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went hunting for more logs and found something in the PHP logs that it is not connecting to the mail server at all. I think it may be my SMTP, I cannot telnet to that server on port 25.
