#39 EXPRESS on XAMPP?

[Anonymous]

I’m currently trying to test EXPRESS running on XAMPP and have met the following problem:

I’ve got Mercury Mail and when sending test emails, all of the …@localhost addresses reached their recipients.

In the application.properties of EXPRESS, I changed the SMTP-settings to:
mail.host=mail.localhost.com
mail.port=25
mail.authenticate=false
mail.username=
mail.password=
mail.from=express@localhost.com

However, when I tried to register with EXPRESS, the dispatch of the registration email failed.
So, is there something wrong with my SMTP settings or does EXPRESS not work on an emulated server?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards

I'm not expert on Express nor Mercury, but I will give it a try. Can you double check the mail.host (using ping & telnet) ? If possible use the hosts file for such name, I recommend.

Maybe this is an issue with unauthenticated email. Have you tried mailing with mail.authenticate=true ? I've tried it with Gmail account and it works...
