I set up a website on a VPC through my home connection. I got IIS7, PHP and mysql working great.
The issue I am having is getting SMTP working.
I know my ISP is blocking port 25, so in the PHP.ini file I changed the port to 35.
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 35
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = mailer@sbytes.info
I also changed it to port 35 in the IIS manager. Most of the other options there are pretty much default. I turned off the windows firewall and opened port 35 on my router even though I don't think these last 2 should be necessary.
The problem is the mail keeps getting stuck in the Queue folder.
If I open up one of the queued messages it looks as follows:
Received: from SERVER2008 ([127.0.0.1]) by sbytes.info with Microsoft SMTPSVC(7.5.7600.16385);

Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong or things to try? It seems like its getting to the SMTP server but no further then that.
