title: Trouble installing Fake Sendmail
body: <p>I am trying to install Fake Sendmail in Windows 8 using Google SMTP for testing PHP's mail() function. What am I doing wrong here?</p>
  
  <p>My sendmail.ini</p>
  
  <pre><code>; configuration for fake sendmail
  
  ; if this file doesn't exist, sendmail.exe will look for the settings in
  ; the registry, under HKLM\Software\Sendmail
  
  [sendmail]
  
  ; you must change mail.mydomain.com to your smtp server,
  ; or to IIS's "pickup" directory.  (generally C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup)
  ; emails delivered via IIS's pickup directory cause sendmail to
  ; run quicker, but you won't get error messages back to the calling
  ; application.
  
  smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
  
  ; smtp port (normally 25)
  
  smtp_port=587
  
  ; the default domain for this server will be read from the registry
  ; this will be appended to email addresses when one isn't provided
  ; if you want to override the value in the registry, uncomment and modify
  
  ;default_domain=enteryourdomain.com
  
  ; log smtp errors to error.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
  ; uncomment to enable logging
  
  error_logfile=error.log
  
  ; create debug log as debug.log (defaults to same directory as sendmail.exe)
  ; uncomment to enable debugging
  
  ;debug_logfile=debug.log
  
  ; if your smtp server requires authentication, modify the following two lines
  
  auth_username=myemail@gmail.com
  auth_password=mypassword
  
  ; if your smtp server uses pop3 before smtp authentication, modify the 
  ; following three lines
  
  pop3_server=
  pop3_username=
  pop3_password=
  
  ; to force the sender to always be the following email address, uncomment and
  ; populate with a valid email address.  this will only affect the "MAIL FROM"
  ; command, it won't modify the "From: " header of the message content
  
  force_sender=myemail@gmail.com
  
  ; sendmail will use your hostname and your default_domain in the ehlo/helo
  ; smtp greeting.  you can manually set the ehlo/helo name if required
  
  ;hostname=
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My PHP.INI</p>
  
  <pre><code>[mail function]
  ; For Win32 only.
  ; http://php.net/smtp
  ;SMTP = localhost
  ; http://php.net/smtp-port
  ;smtp_port = 25
  
  ; For Win32 only.
  ; http://php.net/sendmail-from
  ;sendmail_from = you@yourdomain
  
  ; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
  ; http://php.net/sendmail-path
  sendmail_path = "C:\usr\lib\sendmail.exe -t"
  
  ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters
  ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of
  ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode.
  ;mail.force_extra_parameters =
  
  ; Add X-PHP-Originating-Script: that will include uid of the script followed by the filename
  ;mail.add_x_header = On
  
  ; Log all mail() calls including the full path of the script, line #, to address and headers
  ;mail.log =
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And Finally, my sendmail error log after my most recent test</p>
  
  <pre><code>13/09/12 07:23:32 : Socket Error # 10060&lt;EOL&gt;Connection timed out.
  13/09/12 07:31:54 : Connection Closed Gracefully.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I really appreciate any help!</p>
