How to use sendmail in windows

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Few days ago I got an email from “CKY-guy” and he was wondering about sendmail and perl mail script under windows. He asked me a few questions about it so I tought it would be interesting to post it on my blog. Questons were about does sendmail work in windows and apache for windows, does it work on windows server

1 do you have to use iis?
No – IIS and apache can be used (but it must be in windows enviroment since sendmail.exe is for windows os).

2 how do you call it from a perl script?
You can look at example perl script for sending mail at sendmail for windows velikan webpage.

3 will it run in windows server inverment?
Yes – it works in windows xp, windows server 2003, windows server 2000, vista (haven’t tested it but i think it will also work).
