SMTP always goes to localhost

I'm having trouble figuring out how to get mail to send somewhere other than to localhost.

Get the error:

Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25

even though php.ini has:

SMTP = www.jnetmedia.com

smtp_port = 25

Anyone know why this is happening?

Maybe path to php.ini is wrong. Where do you to set the path?

Thank

Hi,

Normally your smtp setup should begin with smtp not www

Here's a random example - this is one from Godaddy.com

smtpout.secureserver.net

Go to your host and find out what the smtp settings are for setting up email at that host and then use that in place of www.jnetmedia.com

Cheers

Thanks Max. My SMTP is actually picked up from www. on the mail server. it's an old RAQ setup.

Even with the wrong addres though I would think I'd get an error other than "localhost"

Could it be the cron setting? I'm on a windows 2003 server.

It's glad to hear that someone has figured out SMTP configuration. I would request you to provide me smtp configuration file so that I can do the same.
