Hi
Never even heard of Mercury even though it’s there everytime you open XAMPP… I must be blind!
I’m trying to get the cforms plugin to send me an email from a local XAMPP WordPress setup.
I’ve not tried your method but I’ve looked at a few methods which involve changing the php.ini file.

Would you say that such methods are valid or should I bite the bullet and use your method.

Hi Madastro,
I’ve not tried it yet myself, but you can edit windows HOST file. This tells your browser that 127.0.0.1 is localhost.

You can call your localhost anything you like, so you can have the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost.com

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial, I managed to do the same with XAMPP setup, but hit a little snag. I have a validation system in place so entering just mail@localhost would trigger an error. how do i set it up so that I can also use mail@localhost.com or something to that effect?

Beautiful. thanks so much for this. works like a charm. i must add though, that i had to watch the vid. the slightest little mistake in email settings gives an error message.

thanks!
