I had the same problem, thaks to this post, I figured out that maybe that’s conected with DNS and it’s TTL. Ant It WAS, So to make it faster, go to Your DNS manager and change Your “A (Host)” and “CNAMES (Aliases)” www TTL value to 1/2 h. Then You’ll need to wait just 30 minutes

It works indeed! Thank you very much
Damn lag, I never suspected I’d have to wait for <60 minutes and always gave up.

RE: PHPMailer

I got this working with PHPMailer without any problems whatsoever. Make sure and check your C:\wamp\sendmail\error.log file to see what the problems really are.

Great article, Josh. Functional and to the point.

WooHoo

i guess i made the FATAL mistake of copying and pasting the “c:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t” line, as is..

the quotation makes weren’t correct by doing this i believe.

(i)should of been in bed 5 hrs ago :sigh:

thanks for telling me how its done, mostly. and i also went into the “bin” folder, and changed all 3 php.ini files to match the php.ini file that you get when you click on the icon.. i noticed that when you change the php.ini file by clicking the icon, it doesn’t change any of the 3 php.ini files inside of the “wamp\bin\php” folder directory. i changed these before i figured out what my problem was, and i wanted them to all point to the same sendmail_path. do you think it was unneccasary or give me any problems?

worst case scenario, i can always reinstall wamp and fakemail, and readjust the settings, seeing as how it should only take me 20mins next time instead of 2 sleepless nights. sad? me? i know.

Thanks again!

ive been trying to install mail on my wamp for some time now, i came across your tutorial, and it seemed to be spelled out pretty well, im using wamp 2.0. ive made the changes to the php.ini file, ive installed the sendmail into the wamp root, ive configured the wamp to port 80, im using godaddy smtp mail, i have my username@goeshere.com and password according, ive uncommented all the lines identical, i’m not getting any errors, but, i’m not receiving any mail when i fill out my forms, i know the php forms are proper, they work on my “hosting acct” just not sending any mail from my “local host”

at the bottom of the sendmail.ini theres a field that is uncommented on both of ours. (hostname= ) should that be commented? or filled in? or left blank?

any help would be appreciated.

i changed my aol port and my skype port to resolve conflicts, i have router forwarding turned on, i have ports open on my firewall for forwarding, my wamp is in great shape, i just wish it would send my emails somewhere that i could check.
