Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

I have installed mantis and done the installation check. Everything seems to be ok. I click the send email button to check my config. Mantis tells me that the email was sent successfully but I get nothing. Can someone help?

Here are my settings:

# select the method to mail by:
# 0 - mail()
# 1 - sendmail
# 2 - SMTP
$g_phpMailer_method = 1;

# This option allows you to use a remote SMTP host. Must use the phpMailer script
# Name of smtp host, needed for phpMailer, taken from php.ini
$g_smtp_host = 'localhost';

What happens if you set $g_phpMailer_method to 2 instead?

If this was Unix, I'd say check the mail logs.

phpMailer_method = 1, uses the internal mail function in PHP to send the message. I believe that it waits until the message is sent before returning success or failure.

phpMailer_method = 2, uses the sendmail program to send the message. It opens a socket and transferrs the message locally. It does not wait until the message is sent before returning success or failure. Thus the mail logs are important.

phpMailer_method = 3, uses the code in phpMailer to send the message. It waits until the message is sent before returning success or failure. It works with remote SMTP servers.

I have attempted all methods of sending mail. I figured good old fashoined sendmail would be the easiest. 0 and 2 throw errors while sendmail says it was successful yet none send mail
