hostname=

It is not sending email. I don't want to use external library like PHPmailer, swiftmailer,hmailserver etc.

Has anyone sent email on windows with php mail? What should i do?

Edit: The following configuration works: (sendmail is put in C:)

php.ini =>

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587        
sendmail_from = ssmtpmailtesting@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "C:\sendmail\sendmail.exe"

sendmail.ini =>

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=auto

error_logfile=error.log    
auth_username=ssmtpmailtesting@gmail.com
auth_password=[mypassword]    
pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=
force_sender=ssmtpmailtesting@gmail.com
force_recipient=
hostname=

  • Have you activated `extension=php_openssl.dll` in the `php.ini` file – RiggsFolly Jun 08 '15 at 13:31

    You should really think about upgrading to WAMPServer3. 2.1 is ancient – RiggsFolly Mar 08 '16 at 08:59
  • @RiggsFolly, I have updated wamp to 2.5. – cola Mar 08 '16 at 09:06
  • It's working after changing the compatibility mode of sendmail.exe from properties. For windows 7 or above, you have to change the compatibility mode of sendmail.exe to "Windows xp service pack 3" from properties. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21337859/sendmail-wamp-php , see "issues running on windows 8+" here in http://glob.com.au/sendmail/ – cola Mar 08 '16 at 15:06

First of all make sure these two lines in php.ini are uncommented:

;SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
;smtp_port = 587 (or 465)

Then change smtp_ssl=auto to smtp_ssl=tls (as RiggsFolly said make sure extension=php_openssl.dll is enabled).

Furthermore if you are using Windows 8 have a look at this thread or install this proxy.

Edit: (edited by shibly)

The following configuration works.

php.ini=>

SMTP = smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port = 587        
sendmail_from = ssmtpmailtesting@gmail.com
sendmail_path = "C:\sendmail\sendmail.exe"

sendmail.ini=>

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=auto

error_logfile=error.log    
auth_username=ssmtpmailtesting@gmail.com
auth_password=[mypassword]    
pop3_server=
pop3_username=
pop3_password=
force_sender=ssmtpmailtesting@gmail.com
force_recipient=
hostname=

  • Use the latest [sendmail for Windows](https://github.com/sendmail-tls1-2/main) and follow the basic installation instructions, make sure to remove the `smtp` configuration from your `php.ini` file because that isn't really required if you already handle those values in your `sendmail.ini` file. Also I was only able to get it to work if I use `sendmail_path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\sendmail\sendmail.exe"` without the `-t` parameter. If anyone is curious, I was using IIS on Windows 10. – haZh Oct 17 '20 at 13:50
