I am using PHP versio 4.2.2 on Windows 2000, installed with php-4.2.2-installer.exe.

MS SMTP is running and works fine with CDONTS in ASP.

But PHP cannot send email if php.ini is set to SMTP =localhost or to SMTP =127.0.0.1.

It does work if set to my ISP's SMTP server.

Is your SMTP server (local) using any sort of authentication scheme?

My SMTP server (local) outgoing service is set to anonymous authentication and so requires no user name or password to send outgoing mail.

The bug seems to be with the php-4.2.2-installer.exe version on Windows 2000. If the mail is sent to ""Mary <mary@example.com>"(as written in the PHP manual) and if the PHP SMTP setting is set to "Localhost", then the mail will not be sent and you will get a "Warning: Server Error in ..." error message. This does not happen if I use ASP with CDONTS to send the same recipient format, so I know the problem is not with Microsoft'a SMTP server. It also doesn't happen if the mail is sent with PHP, still sending to "Mary <mary@example.com>" but with SMTP set to an outside SMTP server.

Has this been fixed in the PHP Manual and/or in PHP 4.2.3?
