Sorry for the blank first post and language errors
I have read the thread about mail problems and bought place on dedicated server
now it says that mail has been sent but my mailbox is empty
somebody told to set php.ini unfortunatelly I don't know how
lines about mail config in php ini look like this
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =
I have gentoo with webmin and all neccesery servers
my possibilities:
- E-mail: qmail / vpopmail* / courier-imap / qmailadmin
spamassassin / clamAV
plus open-smtp
installed
-> ftp (port: 21)
-> ssh (port: 22)
-> smtp (port: 25)
-> named (port: 53)
-> web (port: 80)
-> pop3 (port: 110)
-> imap (port: 143)
-> webmin (port: 10000)
will very appreciate any suggestions what to do

Set SMTP= to an external SMTP server. Your personal one may work for the time being until you get something permanent setup for your course.
On most windows servers you need to use an external SMTP server. On Linux you can use the local Sendmail to send mail. Check with your provider though. Maybe they have mail running on localhost, but its not working properly.

first of all thank you for fast response @Greg
I believe it is my poor knowledge of server configuration that cause the problem
my provider is OVH and I asked for help on their board, let's hope that somebody from small local community we have, post solution there
until then I'd like to set SMTP as You told, do I have to change something in Atutor files or in php.ini?
if php.ini which line to mofify, should it look like this:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.atutor.pl
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = me@example.com
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =
; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =
BTW what do You mean by external SMTP server, can it be server own by google like mail.gmail.com?????

If you use a desktop email client, look at its STMP setting. I don't know if mail.gmail.com will work. Try it. See what happens.
Restart the Web server for this change to take effect.

although I don't install fixes and testing mail by clicking forgot your password and entering mail address

Yes, phpMailer. Which uses Sendmail.
2009-07-31 11:08:15
I have asked funny questions, now I see, phpmailer files like class.phpmailer and class.smtp are indeed in "include" folder
all I need is to have sendmail running properly and to set path to sendmail in php.ini
one more question... do I have to configure PHPMailer files or is it already done?
