Send Email using Exchange Server

at work we have a mail server, windows 2000 exchange Server to be specific. We have PHP 5.1.4 installed and running on IIS.

im wanting to send emails using mail server, but the code ive put together dont seem to work. when i run my script, i get no errors, but no emails come through to my mailbox either...

mailserver IP is 192.168.0.2

<?php
require('classes/class.phpmailer.php');

$mail->Sender = 'administrator@companyname.com';

ini_set('sendmail_from',$mail->Sender);

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->AddAddress('sdelaney@companyname.com','mlennon@companyname.com');
$mail->From = 'administrator@companyname.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Pegasus Intranet Gate Keeper';
$mail->Subject = 'Just Testing the SMPT Settings for the Intranet';
$mail->ContentType = 'text/html';
$mail->CharSet = 'iso-8859-1';
$mail->Priority = 1;
$mail->Body = '<p>Hello, This email has been send using the Pegasus Exchange Server (192.168.0.2)</p>';
$mail->Send();
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->SmtpClose();
?>

>>it should be
>>$mail->AddAddress('sdelaney@companyname.com');
>>$mail->AddAddress('mlennon@companyname.com');

Oh! OK, i was shown this way by another expert in the PHP TA... they where obviously wrong them... damn and ive been shown other people this all along!

OK i'll fix this.

>>also put an
>>echo $mail->ErrorInfo
>>to see ih phpmailer has encountred an error

Ya sorry, ive added these since:

if($mail->Send())
echo 'Message send!';
else
echo 'Message not send!';

and all i get is: Message not send! so i'll add what you suggest again...

>>$mail->Host = '192.168.0.2';
>>to delive the mail via that smtp-server

ah - this would be good to have... if i want to send an email... ;-)

Thank you for that advise - i wasnt sure if to go searching for options in that class file as i didnt want to muck the class up by editing it...but i'll take a look now

ive also checked my PHP.INI file on the exchange server and the setting are correct in terms of SMTP server address and port...

thanks guys, i'll reply in a few mins

Ive went into that class and set the username/password of the admin account and set host to 192.168.0.2 and set the from address to administrator@companyname.com...

still no difference...
