Hi there,

I got the following challenge. I have a site that is hosted on a windows 2010 server and i am trying to get the website to send emails. The site runs on Apache 2.2.9, PHP 5.2.6 and we set it up to run on port 6000. I have setup the fakemail/sendmail script to send emails and it does so whithout any problems solong as the email adress that i am sending it from is not hosted on the actual box, but rather through a shared hosting provider.

So for example: The system will send mail if the email's from address is 'info@offsite.com' but refuses to send emails where the normal company email is handedled by exchange server eg 'info@localhostserver.com'.

Any ideas

error logs?

Had a look at the error log. It said it could not find the host. Checked the host and it was correct, tried ip address instead of dns name and it worked.
