I get this error: Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to "smpthosenamehere":25 (An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. ) in C:\rtsweb\rtss_v_13\lib\phpmailer\class.smtp.php on line 105 There was a problem sending this mail! I put a generic host name in because I was a little nervous about putting my real one in there. Few Questions: Does the SMTP server have to be located on the machine that Apache and PHP are on? Could it be some firewall issue? Also, I tried downloading some SMTP programs like POSTCAST, and I cant get them to work either, I have the same error. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it'd be greatly appreciated, thanks!
With fsockopen you can connect to almost anything. It can be a firewall issue or your ISP may have blocked outgoing connections on port 25.
