Didn´t find anything in the handbook regarding this issue.

How do i define the email settings, or how can drupal send emails (registration, contact form). it doesnt work here. i got a mailserver in the xampp package but i don´t get it working. It´s prolly nearly selfexplaining but i dont get it:

* warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry. in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\mail.inc on line 193.
* Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the site admin, if the problem persists.
* warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 553 We do not relay non-local mail, sorry. in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\mail.inc on line 193.
* Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the site admin, if the problem persists.

thanks

Actually, it's not obvious at all how to configure Mercury mail - but this article at http://www.zoe.vc/2008/mercury-mail-transport-system-fur-externe-mail-ko... will walk you through it. I'm using xampp also and it worked for me.

If you follow all of the instructions, and it seems to work but the email does not arrive at the destination, then read the comment posted by "mp" on June 27th, 2008 at 2:17 on the same page, which I refer to in my comment of March 1.

thekar,

regarding email, the basic is ..if your are running your own email server, u need to have a static/public IP and a registered domain name.

if u dont have a registered domain name, nor a static/public IP for your development / testing machine, u cannot sending out email successfully.

that's why u get this message:
SMTP server response: 553 We do not "relay" non-local mail, sorry.

bye,

I found the most helpful information at "Managing Mail Handling for Development or Testing" at: http://drupal.org/node/201981
