Note: I need to have this running by tomorrow evening. Current date and time: July 23, 10:56 P.M.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 2200 Laptop as my testing server, seeing as that's what I'm writing my code on at the moment. I just migrated to the laptop and installed A2T. I went to test a perfectly written formmail script that works on my desktop computer, and found this in the error log.

Those are the messages that I got. I used another formmail script that was almost identical, also worked perfectly on the desktop. Same error messages. 
What's wrong, and how do I fix it???
Any help is much appreciated. |

Find your php.ini file and see if you have this.
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
The ; is the identifier for commenting out the line, so if you have something like this
;smtp_port = 25
Then take the ; out of the beginning of the line. Check and see if you don't have something like this going on. |

I checked php.ini, and the smtp_port line did not have a ";" in front of it.
Any more suggestions?
It is possible, is it not, that port 25 is in use by another process?
How do I tell if a port is being used by another program/service on the machine? If that's the problem, then how do I change it to another port???
If I'm going to have my testing done on time, I need this problem fixed by tonight.
EDIT:
the testmail cgi program will send mail, but my script won't...
I'm completely and totally lost... |

put these statements at the top of your script
ini_set( sendmail_from, "your@email.com" );
ini_set( SMTP, "mail.yours.com" );
ini_set( smtp_port, 25 );
don't forget to change your@email.com to your email
and mail.yours.com to your mail server
regards
