OK, I know this has been asked to death but I have not ben able to get mine working yet.

I am using my own computer (windows XP, Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) PHP/4.4.0 ). I am using as a mail server ArgoSoft.

My php.ini settings are:[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = myemail.mine.ca

Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks

You might wish to try a simple mail test to see if any errors are displayed. Also, check your error log.

Have you tried sending email to the same address as the from address? If it's a spam issue, that might help you narrow it down.

Which error log do I nned to look into? when I have my mail server running, there is nothing in that log.

When I sent email to my email account which is the from account, it works fine, even without the mail server running. I thought maybe it was a problem witht he free e-mail accounts I have (Hotmail, Yahoo), but I created a new e-mail account on my ISP and still just nothing.

Losing my mind here

PHP creates an error.log file in the root directory (i.e. the same directory as your mainfile.php file).

There is no error.log in my root directory or anywhere in the phpnuke directory.

I followed the instructions for the mailtest.php file. The new email that I set up with my ISP works, however, there is nothing in th yahoo or hotmail accounts. I tried changing the message header and body but can't get anything. I still have my mail server down so I have no idea if this is actually working.

Also, the new user confirmation e-mail still does not show up in that account and I have tried several times.

I installed the resend mod and after trying to resend a new user activation e-mail I got this error message e-mail to me:

MailEnable: Message delivery has been delayed.

Message is waiting at cg.shawcable.net for delivery to mx2.mail.yahoo.com.

The message will be retried for another 30 hours.

Reason: Mail Server for yahoo.com could not accept your email at this time. MailEnable will keep trying to deliver this message and will notify you of any progress.

Reason Code: SMTP Outbound - General Error
Error Number: 0

Message headers follow:
