Hi Ruhani, I found this solution to be the only thing that worked for me to run my PHP website on IIS using sendmail. I plugged the link on my Twitter page to show how much I appreciated it!

When I got this to work, I noticed that it's been keeping data on the mailroot folder of InetPub. Is there a way for IIS not to store this information? The folder has expanded to more than a gig in just a couple of weeks. I've been reading the contents of the folders, and I've been reading unknown and sketchy looking e-mail addresses. Instead of allowing only my domain and IP relay info, I've allowed all. Could this be a reason why I'm getting them? Is there a way for IIS not to keep this data on the server because I really do not need them.

Thanks! I'd appreciate your response!!

If the damn google ad wasnt on top of the text, It might be the correct solution.

I have tried the instructions but it does not work. The test email comes back not ok. I have IIS setup and smpt it works for ASP pages but the PHP it does not. I do not even get an error in the log files.

I have this same setup but I'm unable to send email using PHP's mail() function to outside domains, such as yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc. I can only send emails to accounts within my domain OR using a mail program such as outlook. How do to send emails to external domains like the ones I named above using php mail?

Hiya mate, having minor difficulty, i have managed to configure IIS and PHP to make the simple script return "ok", yet I am not recieving any mail as a result of.

Double checked relay, and php.ini etc, do you have any other recomendations?
