I am using php to send emails. If script is not uploaded on the server, I am running it from IIS of local machine. Is it possible to send emails?

    It is definitely possible to emulate sendmail on a Windows IIS, I used to run a server setup just like that.

    A couple of links for you:

    Setting up PHP sendmail with IIS SMTP and windows server - possible IIS SMTP relay restrictions and configuring IIS relay restrictions

    sendmail

    Hope this helps!

    I'd recommend switching to XAMPP for local hosting and development instead of IIS. I suppose IIS does the job, but it really sucks compared to XAMPP.

    either way is okay ... but php runs better in windows server 2008 iis 7

    yeah, i get it working for asp.net locally ... i assume php in iis works too

      If you're just doing it for testing or whatever, use your ISPs mailing server and a SMTP library.

        And depending what you plan to send with your mailing program, remember to check tht your ISPs rules accept that.

        Most server providers dont accept sending emails with your own program for marketing purposes ewven when theyre according to CANSPAM act.

        Then some allow you to do that if you have rented dedicated server, and most from even those only allow you to send for example only 1 000 emails per day at start, and if everything goes well, they might lift that rate up, but usually it anyway ends to something like 100 000 emails per day at maximum (which is more than enough for almost everyone).

    Most ISP's will block outgoing SMTP from a home cable modem. Make sure they aren't blocking you as nothing will work regardless of what you're using!
