hi..
i can't seem to find a smtp server.....the one i did download a free smtp server and nothing seems to work...i simply need to send mails using php on a apache server

since the smtp server is sittin on my pc itself, i (or didn't) changed the php.ini file as

smtp= localhost
smtp_port = 25

this is the error i get:
Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in c:\program files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\testing\part III\send_simpleform.php on line 10

could u recommend a easy-to-use smtp server that can run on xp home with apache

thanks so much....any help would be highly appreciated..
