[thelist] sending email with php

[Pablo Oliva]

Well, this is the error that I am receiving, leading me to believe that
I am having problems with the SMTP servers. I tried both my ISP
smtp.west.cox.net and my personal webhosting company www.qecept.com for
my SMTP settings in the php.ini file. Neither work, is it that both not
permit this or am I doing something wrong. So I imagine that this has
something to do with the SMTP server. I am running Apache on a Windows
machine, is there a mail server, free hopefully, that I could setup???
