Zimbra php email question

[NoDoze]

I have a web server, then a separate zimbra email server.
I have some web forms sending php emails from the web server.

How do I setup php on the web server to talk with the zimbra server...?

On the web server, in the php.ini file I have:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = user@zimbradomain.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

I tried changing the SMTP setting to mail.zimbradomain.com
But it made no difference..

Is zimbra blocking the php email?

Please help, I'm confused and don't understand what would be the correct settings...

Thanks!

Wow...no takers? Hmm.... Do you need more info? Or am I just confusing everyone?

Maybe I could clarify...

- Does Zimbra allow php email from another server over the LAN?
- Does Zimbra allow other services to use it's SMTP server?
- If yes, what settings are needed on the zimbra server to enable this?

Thanks.

depends on whether the mail function uses smtp or sendmail, depending on platform and setup of php. instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail, try /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/sendmail.

linux NOT windows....

I'll try that and see if it works...
