  Error in sending email

  If you are asking for help, provide lots of detail so problems can be reproduced.
  
  Things to describe:
  operating system - Windows NT 5.2
  version of ATutor - 1.6
  versions of php - 5.1.4
  version of mysq l - 5.0.45
  webserver & version - IIS
  
  I want to send an email to all users but i see the error message below:
  There was an error sending the email message.
  
  What is the problem? Is there any file for configuring SMTP server? I wanna send emails through special email account and SMTP server.
  Please help me.

  Re: Error in sending email

  ATutor: 1.6.
  PHP: 5.2.6
  MySQL: 5.0.45-community
  OS: Linux 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
  
  I have the same problem. No mail work on my installation (at subscription, remember the password, internal email).
  
  The strange thing is that on the same server I have another instalation where everything works OK.
  
  Thank you.

  Re: Error in sending email

  In the case of Linux, you can still use the SMTP setting in php.ini, but a better method would be to get a working version of Sendmail running on the server. ATutor does not have its own mailer program, but instead relies on the mailer installed on the server, or accessed through a remote SMTP server.

  Re: Error in sending email

  My conclusion is that I am stupid.
  Reviewing the forums the problem was the setting:
  
  define ( 'MAIL_USE_SMTP', false);
  
  in config.inc.php, Its must to be:
  
  define ( 'MAIL_USE_SMTP', true); (I'm not using sendmail)
  
  Although I do not know why the installation left the option "false"
  
  Thank you all and I try to be less stupid. :-)
