    Hi,

    I've tried EasyPHP and normal PHP configuration and mail function worked well, but now I have XAMMP and my mail function is not working anymore.

    I've installed the full package of XAMMP succesfully.

    Error I got after trying to send: We do not relay non-local mail, sorry.

    Have someone any ideas? I've tried to put my From: -header to the following without luck:
    me@localhost
    me@example.com
    localhost
    *MYIP*

    Has someone idea on what is non-local mail? So I can not mail to anywhere else than my own cpu??

    thank you

    you can still use SMTP with XAMPP (atleast i do)
    you can use phpmailer , its free and supports SMTP

    here is a function by me , so its gona be easier :), i use it for my websites

    
function mailuser($mailsubject,$mailbody,$receiveremail,$replyto)
{
	include("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php"); // include phpmailer class! you may use different folder...
        //simple stupid function by tenev aka penihop
	$mail = new PHPMailer();
	$mail->IsSMTP();                    // set mailer to use SMTP
	$mail->Host = "mail.example.com";        // specify main and backup server
	$mail->SMTPAuth = true;              // turn on SMTP authentication
	$mail->Username = "ex@example.com";     // SMTP username
	$mail->Password = "examplepassword";     // SMTP password
	$mail->From = "ex@example.com";         //do NOT fake header.
	$mail->FromName = $replyto;          // from which email adress
	$mail->AddAddress($receiveremail);         // to which email address
	$mail->AddReplyTo($replyto, "Please do not reply to this email!"); //optional, spcify to which email they will reply 

	$mail->Subject	=	$mailsubject;
	$mail->Body		=	$mailbody;
	
	$retcode=false;
	if(!$mail->Send())
	{
	   echo $mail->ErrorInfo; // showerror
	   $retcode=$mail->ErrorInfo;
	}
	else
	{
	   //echo "email was sent"; // show success
	   $retcode=true;
	}
	return $retcode; // will return true if email was send
}
    PHP:

    and here is how you are going to use it :


    

$mailbody=" Hello, 
bla bla bla b la. so blablalba (xD) bla bloa...
bla bla bla blablalbal
lalaallalal blabblalbla
Thanks, the support.
"; // email content
			
$receiveremail="example@hotmail.com"; // to who
$replymail="ex@example.com"; // user reply to this email
$subject="we are emailng you because ?"; // why we are emailing him :@?
			
if(mailuser($subject,$mailbody,$receiveremail,$replymail))
{
 echo("Email was send!");
}
    PHP:
    don't forget to download phpmailer from here http://phpmailer.worxware.com/
    works Perfectly with XAMPP and PHP 4/5/6
