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

    Update: need to setup your smtp

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

  • any advice for STMP for mass mailing and for software? was considering sendblaster paired with dreamhost? any ideas newbie here. thanks so much!!
  • 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!
