Where is the Email server setting?

    Hi,

    We have WordPress installed and running fine on our network and have recently migrated our mail server to new hardware/new name.

    When I look in the Exchange Message Tracking the only emails that are being routed through the old server are those that come from WordPress:

    [] Password Reset
    [] Your new password
    [] Password Lost/Changed

    I can’t for the life of me find any config in the admin console that purports to SMTP mail settings and am getting confused.

    Am I being an idiot here?

    thanks,

    WordPress uses PHP’s own functions to send email, it doesn’t have any setting for the SMTP server. It assumes PHP is set up properly to do that already.

    If this is a Windows box that WP is running on, look in the main PHP.INI file.

    If it’s a Linux box, then it uses the sendmail program, so whatever the config of the box itself is is what gets used.

    Otto… thank you.

    For anyone else with the same problem, it is the following setting in PHP.ini which lives in the root of the PHP install directory.

    [mail function]
    ; For Win32 only.
    SMTP = 192.168.1.113
    smtp_port = 25
