Unfortunately it has nothing to do with PHP either, other than using the
mail function but that's not my question. I need advice on setting up a mail
server on winxp. To my knowledge there's not a NG for this sort of thing so
I thought this would be a good place to start. I don't have time to tackle
getting a Linux box and going that route right now so I'm stuck with looking
for winxp solutions. I can't be the only person with this prob, can I?

In your PHP.INI file under Module Settings:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

(...)

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.yourisp.xxx
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = johndoe.RemoveThis@nomail.com

Just enter the SMTP server name of your ISP's.... Works for me!
