Wordpress on IIS sending emails

Asked by andrewh123 in WordPress, Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: , ,

Hi,
I have been trying to get my locally hosted wordpress to send emails for a while now to no avail.
I am using the latest wordpress version 2.3.2 on a windows 2003 server with IIS.

asp.net apps on the server connect to the smtp server on the local machine with no problem and emails can be sent.

wordpress however, refuses to send emails but there are no useful errors. I am expecting emails when users add comments, or when other plugins that send emails are used.
I have altered the php.ini file to read:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = 212.xxx.xxx.44
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = andrew@mydomain.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
;sendmail_path =

; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
;mail.force_extra_parameters =

What else do I need to do to get emails sending?
Can I add username and pwd to the smtp string in the php.ini?

Any help appreciated!
