1:- Start Internet Information Services Manager or open the Internet Information Services (IIS) snap-in.

2:- Expand Server_name, where Server_name is the name of the server, right-click Default SMTP Virtual Server, and then click Properties.

3:- Click the Access tab, and then under Access control, click Authentication.

4:- Click to select either or both the Basic authentication and the Integrated Windows authentication check boxes, click to clear the Anonymous access check box (if it is selected), and then click OK.

By doing so, authentication is required before access is granted to the SMTP virtual server. In this case, if the user or computer does not successfully authenticate, the user or computer cannot send mail to the server.

NOTE: If you click to select the Anonymous access check box and do not click to select the Basic authentication and the Integrated Windows authentication check boxes, all users and computers are able to access the SMTP virtual server.

This disables authentication.

5:- Under Relay restrictions, click Relay.

6:- Note the options that are available in the Relay Restrictions dialog box. By default, the Only the list below option is selected and this list is empty. Additionally, the Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above option is selected. With this feature, users and computers that can authenticate with the server can relay through the server. All computers are blocked except those that meet the authentication requirements that you configured earlier in the Authentication dialog box of the Access tab.

Note that if you allow only anonymous access, the server does not authenticate users or computers.

7:- Click Add, and then do one of the following to add a single computer, group of computers, or a domain:

Click Single computer.

Type the IP address of the computer that you want in the IP Address box, and then click OK.

Click Group of computers.

Type the subnet address and the Subnet mask of the group into the corresponding boxes, and then click OK.

Click Domain.

Type the domain name that you want in the Name box, and then click OK.

If you do not want to add a computer, group or computers, or a domain, click Cancel.

8:- Click OK, and then click OK.

Hello,

Do you know what could be causing this problem?..


Thanks in Advance,
Justin.

1st: Possibly you are referencing variables created in an unsupported way. Generally this means turn on Register_Globals, or re-write your code.

2nd: I appears you have secured your mail sever (very good)... but that does break php's mail() function.

Hello,

Thanks a lot..

could you give me an idea on how to go about fixing this?..

Justin.

fix how you're referencing variables. If they're from a form, do NOT use $var, instead, use $_POST['var']

As for the mail problem, use something that facilitates authenticated SMTP authentication.

I'll have a how-to up shortly that'll be of help

well first off.. the errors tell you that you are forgetting the $ in front of your variables...



If you go to line 2 in your code, you should place a $ in front of sentemail, if its a local variable... if they are form variables, then
ALWAYS use the $_ variables to reference the predefined variables.. ($_GET , $_POST, $_SERVER, etc..) as LighthousePoint has "pointed out"

It MIGHT not be a problem of authentication, it could be that your relay settings only allow for local users or emails that are hosted within your email server...

Hello,

The form works correctly, because I have tested it over and over again on my Linux server, but when it's placed on Windows it dont work correctly and I have it set to anonomous for the relay part.

Justin.

Hello,

I also go this error not long after IIS was started..



Thanks in Advance,
Justin.

Hello,

I figured out that last post of mine, but still can't figure out why it's not doing right...

I tried turning on Register_Globals, and It didnt help.. you do turn that on in the php.ini file, correct.. just to make sure I did that right..

Thanks,
Justin.

yep, c:windowsphp.ini. You should restart IIS after changing it.

well.. FYI. if your program requires Register_Globals to be on, then you arent writing good code! PHP 4+ should NEVER require that to be on! Good luck with your problem, hopefully you can get it worked out

Jake

Hello,

If you modify php.ini there is no need to restart IIS. It will work without restarting IIS or W3SVC services.

Regards,

True dat!

No restart required when you change your php.ini!

w00t!
