Hello,
I use Windows XP Professional and PHP5 with Apache web server. I would like
to send email from PHP5 code. I learnt that I should have SMTP server. I
downloaded and installed Free SMTP Server - this is (as I think) simple mail
server, available for free. I run it, but in Options dialog I see only:
- DNS Server: Autodetect / Specific DNS server - I choose Autodetect
- SMTP Port: Standard #25 / Specufic port - I choose Standard
I PHP5 configuration file (php.ini) I need to specify sendmail-from addess.
So I guess I need to (at least) prepare a local email address. How to do it?
Please help.

If your aim is to send messages to external addresses then
you do not need your own SMTP server. You simply specify
your ISP's SMTP server. Its name is smtp.poczta.onet.pl.
