#206 connecting phphelpdesk to exchange server

[Anonymous]

I'm having real problems with my helpdesk.

It's all set up and configured, everything works
perfectly.... except the mail sending.

I'm continuously getting the same error message as
follows:
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to
mailserver at "[mail server]" port 25, verify your "SMTP"
and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in
C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\icthelp\scripts\addjob.sc
p.php on line 49

Mail server is definitely correct as is port. Is this
because we have exchange server - is it not possible to
link exchange server to phphelpdesk??

I suggest using some other email program or just

telnet exchangeserver.name.in.my.domain.com 25

and you should get a message back from the exchange
server. If that works, phphelpdesk should work. If not,
let us know what message you get.
