Using Mail Server

[werehere]

I am wanting to get my board using our mail server, and as I see it you are using sendmail right?

How would I go about getting it to use the mailserver?

Yup - we use sendmail on Linux. You can set php to use a SMTP server in the php.ini file.

It only specifies a SMTP that says for WIN32 only (we have a WIN NT mailserver). If we are on linux box, if we specify a mailserver to use, will it work?

win32-winnt-win98-win2000 same thing, win32 is just a name given to any 32 bit Windows os whether it is true or fake 32 bit.. Just put the internet address of the mail server in the php ini file.. It will work fine I am doing it..

smtp.yourdomain.com or mail.yourdomain.com etc..

Upload the test mail php file that comes with vB and test it.. ;)

No i think you are not quite understanding (or I did not explain enough) my problem. You see I am on a Linux box, adn it is using sendmail fine now, but I want it to use my mail server which is WIN 32. In the PHP.ini file it specifies a SMTP server however it has a comment in it which says "WIN32 only" and I am wondering if that is still where I specify my mail server, even though I am on a UNIX box?

Does that make more sense:)?

[John]

Hmmm - I guess you should just try. I'm not sure whether it will work or not.

Werehere - I dont see any reason why it wont work.. I dont think PHP on linux or NT cares what the os is in this instance.. all PHP wants to know is..
[list=A]
do I look for sendmail
or do I look for an smtp server
[/list=A]

I would remove the send mail setting and fill in the smtp one.. worse case it wont work.. :(
