Could Not Execute External Program

Configuring PHP under Windows to use Gmail or External SMTP Server [SSL] Keywords: SSL, SMTP Authentication, External SMTP, Google Apps, Fake Sendmail ​ When installing and setting up Apache, PHP and MySQL on my Windows Server box I have a unique problem, I didn't run my own mail server. I got sick of having to deal with spam issues as well as ensuring maximum uptime or end up losing mail.

I then decided to take advantage of Google Apps, which allows you to use Google Services for your domains including the Gmail Service, which allows you to have your email handled by Google.

Once you have enabled Gmail for your domain you will need to set up an account for webmaster or whatever email address you intend to use for your PHP Mails. Once the account is created you must log into it once and enable POP3 or IMAP under Settings, this usually then enables SMTP on your Gmail so that you can use it with this.

If you are not using Gmail you will need to do some additional steps like setting up the SMTP server and port. You will need to find these out from your email provider. This does NOT work with Windows Live Domains due to the lack of SMTP. Step 1 - Download and Configure Sendmail The first step is to download Fake Sendmail created by Byron Jones.

Its recommended you choose somewhere sensible because once set up you will need to reconfigure PHP if you change the path, so don't bother with your Desktop.
