Sorry to ask for this but I'm trying to help a friend do some web work in php and he's got mercury mail and a lot of the time mercury wont receive mail from php: *Warning*: mail() [function.mail <http://localhost/beacon/php/function.mail>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() i it works some time and I'm assuming his xamp stack is ok so I'm looking for a really simple free mail server that can forward on these messages - to outlook I think on the same machine.

Just did a quick Google search and found this: http://www.pablosoftwaresolutions.com/html/baby_pop3_server.htmlThat can be used to get the messages into Outlook (Outlook? Why not Thunderbird?) :-)
It says that it can be used with the MS IIS SMTP server (not sure if that's included in the XP version of IIS.
They also do a paid for version for about $30 which includes SMTP server. http://www.pablosoftwaresolutions.com/html/quick__n_easy_mail_server.html Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
