I downloaded PostCast server to get E-mail from my friends

I did like this

SMTP=http//www.hotmail.com
Sendmail_from=itohideo@hotmail.com

it is not working

Please tell me what it is wrong

An smtp address is usually

smtp.provider.com
mail.provider.com
pop.provider.com

Never the website address.

basically, you need an SMTP server, Hotmail won't cut it. Your PHP host propably has one running on your own server. If you are using the mail() function you don't even need to specify the SMTP host though??? What are you trying to do?

On second look, your variables are missing $dollar signs, are you using PHP? Maybe you posted in the wrong forum room?

Bawy I think thats 0810's PHP.ini mail settings for PHP on win32

in which case nightfire is right in that the mail server DNS needs to go in the SMTP field.

0810 you need to look at your postcast documentation to find out what the correct SMTP address is likely to be, can you send and receive mail via the postcast interface itself ?

it is not working at all

I can't find correct SMTP address. I can't recieve any mails. I don't know why.

could you explain with this and Where can I put this one? in my script or somewhere else?

SMTP=???????????
$Sendmail_from=itohideo@hotmail.com

Thanks
