Mail Configuration Directives
SMTP
string
Used under Windws only: DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP
should use for mail sent with the mail function.
SMTP
int
Used under Windws only: Number of the port to connect to the server
specified with the SMTP setting when sending mail
with mail; defaults to 25. Only available since
PHP 4.3.0.
sendmail_from
string
Which "From:" mail address should be used in mail sent from
PHP under Windows.
sendmail_path
string
Where the sendmail program can be found,
usually /usr/sbin/sendmail or
/usr/lib/sendmail
configure does an honest attempt of
locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails,
you can set it here.
Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the
sendmail wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any.
For example, Qmail
users can normally set it to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail or
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject.
qmail-inject does not require any option to
process mail correctly.
