PHP not sending mail with local SMTP
Hi, I hope someone can help
I have set up an IIS server on 2008R2, and included the standard SMTP (with the IIS6) and PHP as well.
The PHP works, beautifully. The SMTP works, beautifully. However, they don't seem to work together.
I am able to use the SMTP server to send mail from a office MFP for scanning as well as from MS Outlook 2010 with no trouble at all.
PHP works, I have it accessing ODBC databases and all so no apparent issues there.
On a basic webpage, I set up the following:
<html>
<body>
<?php
if (mail("me@example.com","Test Subject","Test body"))
{echo "success";}
else
{echo "failed";}
?>
</body>
<html>
All I end up with is "failed" on the page.
I have added the following into the PHP.ini I found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\"
[mail function]
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
sendmail_from = no-reply@example.com
I have no idea where to go hunting for the PHP logs to find out what happened and why.
Any help would be appreciated

IMHO the problem is in initial configuration of install process of IIS. Could you specify, which features you have enabled? My guess is that CGI is missing.
For configuration see

More on IIS and related material (incl. PHP Manager) is on official IIS pages here

Along with all of the following:

Default Document
Directory Browsing
HTTP Errors
HTTP Logging

Request Monitor
ODBC Logging

If I could just find the logs... Then I can take a look at what is happening.
Is PHP actually trying to send and failing because... it can't find the server? the server rejects the connection?
Or does the mail protocol not initiate at all? I just wish I knew WHY it failed. Then I can get on with fixing the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
