Is it Possible to Send a Test Email from Localhost to my yahoo email?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Flex e-mail form, but I'm not having a lot of luck. I followed the tutorial in RIA Codes, www.riacodes.com/flex/create-an-email-form-in-flex-with-php/ , but I couldn't get it to work.
I saw another tutorial, which suggested first testing whether your server will allow you to send e-mail. So, I put this php file in my webroot
<?
mail("[email protected]","test","Ok, it works");
?>
and then opened it in my browser. Unfortunately, no e-mail was sent to my yahoo account.
([email protected] isn't my actual e-mail address).
Should the above file run okay on my localhost?  Is there some kind of setting that I need to change?
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
I'm on a Mac running MAMP and Flex Builder 3.
Thank you!

Hi camfieldaj,
Thanks you for the message.
I did some more reading on the web. I've got MAMP Pro and it has a panel for configuring Postfix. I think that that will enable email for php. Is that correct?
MAMP Pro's Postfix panel is asking for:
1) domain of outgoing mail:
2) there's a check box next to Smart Host
3) host
4) user name
5) password
6) authentication
Verizon provides my internet service.
Any advice on how to complete the above? Has anyone used MAMP Pro to configure Postfix?
Thanks,
Laxmidi

    what is the max size of attachment that possible to send with icloud email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There isn't an attachment size limit as such, the limit applies to the entire message including all attachments, which is 20 MB.
    if you are using a mail application to send emails (ie not via a web browser) you may be subject to smaller limits imposed by your own ISP.

  • Possible to send pictures with Gmail & from Lightroom ?

    I just read the trick to mail from Lightroom with a email client.
    Is there any way to do the same with Gmail ( or any webmail ) ?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Gilles.

    Elements 5 does a very very nice job. I send pictures to a cousin who has a system that makes it difficult to retrieve attachments or even go to a web page to view my pictures. Elements can send an HTML email with the image embedded and it works perfectly for her and is so so easy for me. I have it use an Adobe server although you can use your own. I may be keeping Elements for that feature alone, sigh... I can't figure out another way to do this. I use Yahoo mail myself because it allows me to pick up my mail no matter where I am plus see my calendar etc. I can't figure out how to create such an email with yahoo mail myself.

  • Is it possible to send a DNG to from LR4 to PS6 as a TIFF? of so how do I do it?

    When I use Topaz plug-ins in LR4, the image comes back with only 10% of  the pixels remaining. It has been suggested by Topaz Help to transfer images to PS6 from LR4 without LR4 adjustments and see if it still happens. Unfortunately my DNG files cannot be sent to PS6 without adjustments. Is it possible to convert DNG files to TIFF so the option becomes available to send it to PS6 without adjustments?

    I am not certain what you mean by "pixels of 1.7 by 1.1" but if you mean 1700x1100 pixels, that is indeed 1.87 Megapixels. I personally think the straight pixel dimensions are a better (cetainly a more usual) way to express this kind of thing.
    A 1.87 Megapixel  image (of these dimensions) opened into Photoshop reports its theoretical document size on the status bar, if set for that: when I tried this just now, it reported "5.35M".
    It is important to note: this is a notional saving filesize without compression, in Megabytes, and does not refer to Megapixels (really they should make this clearer, by putting "Mp" or "Mb" explicitly, instead of the more confusing "M").
    I don't see how you would have reached 9 Megabytes with such a picture unless there are additional layers present, and/or, resampled pixel numbers.
    If you have somehow reached 9 Megapixels from those starting dimensions, the picture must have been resampled somehow along the line, to give it more pixels (often, this comes of altering resolution while preserving print size - either in "image size", or in Crop).
    Another display option for the same document status bar, shows pixel dimensions - which will confirm this for sure.
    Depending on your printing process, I would suggest you take 180ppi as more or less the coarsest acceptable for printing on paper, and perhaps 90ppi for printing on canvas. These figures accept some crudeness in return for maximum size, but still most likely look OK for general purposes.
    1700px wide at 180ppi is 9.44 inches wide (paper) and at 90ppi is 18.88 inches wide (canvas). The other dimension correspondingly smaller. Many may feel this is pushing things a bit, but if you can make a real sample you may be pleasantly surprised - to some extent it depends on the nature of the image, and on what it is being printed for.
    If feeling more picky, you might instead compromise on say 240 ppi (still in a context where you don't have a lot of pixels available) which gives you a paper printing size of  7 inches wide in, typically, good quality.
    So that tells you the printing size range your image will support. The image can be upsampled to a specific higher PPI (and correspondingly larger pixel dimensions) for printing purposes, at that size - but this does not add further to the enlargeability of the picture detail it contains - only present that at its technical best, and allow you to tweak that further with sharpening, for the physical size selected.

  • Is it possible to send multiple PDF attachments from an iPad?

    When sending an email from my iPad, I am unable to send multiple attachments, just one file at a time.
    Is there any way to send two PDF files in one email?
    Thanks,
    Melissa.

    I don't need to send it to multiple contacts, I need to send multiple PDF files in an email from my iPad.
    Thanks for the assistance though.

  • Is it possible to send a Mail message from the keyboard (Macbook pro)?

    Occasionally while I am composing a message in Mail the send command is somehow activated and the half complete message is sent.  I don't want this to happen and can find no keyboard command that I might be mistakenly typing. I certainly don't click on the send button in the tool bar.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  This is irritating and sometimes embarrassing.
    Thanks.

    Shift CMD D  is the keyboard shortcut, not exactly easy to hit by mistake though.

  • Sending photos by email?

    I just upgraded to elements 13.  I tried many times to send a test email to myself with photos
    After clicking on the last NEXT, nothing happens.  in elements 10  my outlook icon would flash and I would open it and then send.  how do I complete this process so I can send my photos out.?????  I need help!

    Hi,
    The email workflow has been revamped in E13 and therefore you might see some changes from earlier behavior.
    It is recommended to go through these articles once and then try using email service in EO13:

  • Java Mail: send a SINGLE email to a distribution list

    Is it possible to send a single email to a distribution list using Java Mail?
    Please help with some code samples.
    Right now, our mail program uses java mail api to send one email/person in the distribution list and runs in a for loop. Is it possible to have the distribution list in the to field and just send one single email to all persons in the list?
    Thanks,
    Jayashree.

    Yes, of course, assuming your mail server supports
    distribution lists. Most mail servers do, but exactly
    how you create and administer a mailing list varies
    from server to server.
    Once you've created the mailing list on the server,
    just use the name of the list in the To field of the
    message.
