[resolved] Mail Function Troubles (2 posts)

    I am using XAMPP on a Windows box, and outgoing emails are not working. I installed Contact Form 7 (plugin), but I am fairly certain this is a problem with my server, not the plugin. I do not have an SMTP server on the box running the web server. If necessary, I have the credentials needed for another SMTP server that requires SSL.

    I have seen http://codex.wordpress.org/Answers-Trouble_Shooting#Emailed_passwords_not_received and attempted to install the 'fake sendmail' mail program from glob (http://glob.com.au/sendmail/) but have not gotten it to work. The documentation says to install it at the /usr/lib location on the same drive as where the script runs, so I placed it at C:\usr\lib\.

    Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
