So I'm running SS on a Server 2008 box with PHP Version 5.2.6 (http://www.esfiles.com/info.php) and I wanted to have SS be able to email, and since I don't host any mail on this server thanks to Google Apps I'm having a lot of trouble working with the PHP and SendMail to get it to send out emails.

I followed this guide, but no such luck.
http://digiex.net/guides-tutorials/544-configuring-php-under-windows-use-gmail-external-smtp-server-ssl.html

Here are some of my config files

php.ini
-----------------

sendmail_path = "C:\inetpub\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -i"

-----------------

sendmail.ini
-----------------

smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com

; smtp port (normally 25)

smtp_port=587

; SMTPS (SSL) support
; auto = use SSL for port 465, otherwise try to use TLS
; ssl = alway use SSL
; tls = always use TLS
; none = never try to use SSL

smtp_ssl=ssl

default_domain=domain.com
error_logfile=error.log
debug_logfile=debug.log

auth_username=<GOOGLE APPS EMAIL ACCOUNT>
auth_password=<PASSWORD>

force_sender=<GOOGLE APPS EMAIL ACCOUNT>

-----------------

http://www.esfiles.com/mail.php
-----------------
<?php
$to = "user@domain.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "user2@domain2.com";
$headers = "From: $from";

if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)) {
echo "success!";
} else {
echo "fail…";
}
?>
-----------------

I'm really just lost here. So any help would be amazing. Thanks again all.
