I've set up the newsletters section on my site. All is fine except for it won't send. I have a 'from email address' entered and also Email::setAdminEmail('myname@mysite.com'); in my _config.php file. Is there anything else i need to do? I'm working from my localhost... should this matter?

Thanks

You need to specify a SMTP-Server in your php.ini. Search for "SMTP" in your php.ini and add some SMTP-Server (You should be able to use the one you got from your mail provider).

Thanks Florian. Sorry, where exactly is this file located? I'm using WAMP so would it be bin/php/php5.2.6...

I tried a php.ini file in there and it didn't seem to work. Am i correct in saying that this wouldn't be a problem if I was already running Silverstripe on a production server? Is it just because i'm on localhost?

Hello Briohny

when you use you WAMP you could just cleft-click on the icon in your TaskBar, choose "PHP" and then "php.ini". You'll need to search for this part:

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

On a production server the php.ini is usually configured properly, so this should work without any problems and if it does not, contact your host admin.
